Bulls Sweep Past Quinnipiac

Alyssa Fitchette

The Bulls dominated the first two games, winning 30-16 and 30-15, respectively. The third game was a little more of a battle, but UB prevailed, 30-23. Buffalo hit the ball well in the contest, out-hitting its opponent .324 to .043. The Bulls were led by sophomore Alyssa Fitchette (Watertown, NY/Watertown/Genesee CC), who hit a match-high .600 (9-0-15), with six total blocks.

Jenna Mapé

Also leading the Bulls was senior Jenna Mapé (Calgary, Alberta/Father Lacombe), who had a match high in digs (12) and tied for a match high in service aces (four). Mapé also finished with eight kills on the evening and contributed with a block assist. Freshman Lauren Fensten (Centennial, CO/Smoky Hill) also had four service aces and five digs.

After taking care of the Bobcats in the first game, the UB offense really shined in game two, putting forth a performance where it hit a .522 (13-1-23). Fitchette led the Bulls in that game, hitting an .833 with five kills on six attempts. UB also had seven of its 15 service aces in the second game as Mapé had three and freshmen Ellen Robertson (Middle Island, NY/Longwood) and Fensten each had two in the game.

Lauren Fensten

Senior Brandie Clark (Medicine Hat, Alberta/Medicine Hat) finished the night with a match-high 34 assists on the evening, as well as seven digs and six kills. Freshman Kelsey Lueders (Liitleton, CO/Chatfield) also played another strong match, hitting a .500 (7-1-12), with three total blocks.

The Bulls conclude the Western New York Invitational with a pair of games tomorrow. UB hosts Youngstown State at 10:00 am and Coastal Carolina at 7:00 pm. In between the Buffalo games will be two contests as Fordham takes on both Youngstown State and Coastal Carolina.
