BUFFALO, NY - Four players recorded double digits in kills to lead the University at Buffalo volleyball team to a 3-0 sweep of visiting Canisius tonight in Alumni Arena. Game scores were 30-22, 30-27 and 30-17. The match was the inaugural event in the newly-renovated Alumni Arena, which has undergone a make-over during the summer months, including new chair-back seating on both sides of the court and renovated bleacher seats on the ends. The win improves the Bulls' record to 3-2 on the season while Canisius falls to 0-4.
