No goal results in win for Buffalo

No goal results in win for Buffalo

It's never the norm for a team to score the only goal of a game and still come away with a loss. But that's what happened on Tuesday night as the Bulls opened their Mid-American Conference schedule against Hartwick. Hartwick (1-7-1, 0-1 MAC) scored the only goal of the game, but the Bulls (4-4, 1-0 Mid-American Conference) came away with their first conference win in a 1-0 victory thanks to the own goal. In the 28th minute, Hartwick sophomore midfielder Simon Greatwich tried to clear a corner kick that sailed into the box off the foot of junior defender Tom Beckvermit, but ended up heading it into his own goal. "I think the pressure made the backs a little indecisive," said Buffalo head coach John Astudillo.

Where does the athletics budget go?

$23,444,104. That was the athletic department's budget for the 2008-09 academic year. Between SUNY budget cuts, the delaying of UB 2020 and the rise in student tuition, this figure, at a glance, may shock and upset many. But the breakdown of how the money is spent tells a much different story. Athletic expenses include everything from scholarships and salaries, to team travel and equipment.

Weekend split at home

The volleyball team came within two points of perfection over the weekend. On Saturday night, The Bulls (13-5, 1-1 Mid-American Conference) allowed Bowling Green (6-10, 1-1 MAC) to come from behind to win in a five set war, 3-2 (25-18, 16-25, 19-25, 25-22, 17-15). The disappointing loss to the Falcons put a damper on a great start.
