UB women’s basketball (5-2, 0-0 MAC) fell to Stony Brook (6-1, 0-0 CAA) 82-53 Saturday at Island Federal Arena.
The Bulls lost their first road game of the season 59-48.
After winning the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championship last season, the Bulls missed the playoffs for the first time since 2013.
With one game to play in the regular season, UB sits at No. 6 in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) standings, ahead of Toledo and Ohio (5-7-5, 3-4-3). The top six teams make the MAC Tournament, leaving the defending MAC champion Bulls on the edge of postseason contention with one game, against Kent State (9-6-2, 6-4 MAC), left in the season.
Thursday’s game had both teams battling the entire 90-minute allotment, with each side holding the lead at different points in the game.
The UB ACHA hockey team visited Niagara University on Friday, Sept. 29 to play in the second annual “Midnight Madness” game, honoring former Niagara player Patrick Romano, who died in a house fire in 2021. Niagara held a pregame moment of silence to honor Romano. His mother, Charlene Romano, took the ice for a ceremonial puck drop between the two teams.
