BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo women's volleyball team lost two quick games and could not come back, losing to the Akron Zips, 2-15, 5-15, 10-15. Freshman Lindsay Matikosh (North Tonawanda, NY/North Tonawanda) paced the Bulls with nine kills, nine digs and two blocks. Junior Larissa LaCour (West Islip, NY/West Islip) had an error-free hitting night with six kills on 10 attempts. She also added 27 assists and seven digs. Juniors Heather Barfuss (Huntington, NY/John H. Glenn) and Keri Shiels (Baldwin, NY/Baldwin) finished the night with nine digs apiece while also contributing four and six kills, respectively. The Zips committed just nine errors during the entire match compared to UB's 21, and Akron's .381 hitting percentage propelled them to victory.

Buffalo (4-11 overall, 0-4 MAC) will have two more opportunities this week to pick up its first conference win of the season with a pair of MAC road matches this weekend. The Bulls play at Miami, OH on Friday, October 6 and at Ball State on Saturday, October 7. Both matches are set to begin at 7 pm.
