BUFFALO, NY ­ The UB women's basketball team will be looking to snap its three-game losing streak at 1 pm this Sunday when the Oakland (MI) Grizzlies visit Alumni Arena.

The Bulls, 1-5, will be looking to carry over the offensive momentum generated in their most recent loss - an 87-75 defeat at Niagara one week ago. In that contest, UB scored a season-high point total largely due to a 52-point second half in which it shot 64.7 percent from the floor.

Oakland, 5-4, is also coming off a loss to Niagara, having lost by a 75-64 score on Friday night. Three Grizzlies are averaging in double figures, including center Petra Manakova - who scored a career-high 20 points against Niagara. Along with her 10.7 points per game, she also records an average of 6.3 rebounds per game.

Kim Kilpela

UB is currently being led statistically by its post players. Senior forward Jessica Kochendorfer (Allen, MI/Quincy) - a recent entry into the 1,000-point club - leads Buffalo with an average of both 15.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Fellow senior Kim Kilpela (West Bloomfield, MI/West Bloomfield) has doubled-doubled in consecutive contests.

There will be one new player on the Bulls' roster this Sunday. Freshman point guard Dina Atanas (Brantford, Ontario/St. John's College) is a welcome addition to a depleted UB roster that previously had just eight healthy bodies. Atanas originally signed with the Bulls back in November of 2002 before returning home prior to the start of the fall semester.
