Bulls Struggle On The Road

The University at Buffalo volleyball team fell to two of the top programs in the MAC East this past weekend as it dropped a pair of matches against Miami (OH) and Bowling Green. The Bulls fought hard in each match, but ended up short of a victory.

Home Sweet Home

After playing their last three conference matches on the road, UB will return to the friendly confines of Alumni Arena for its next two home matches this upcoming weekend. The Bulls have just five home matches left during the 2007 season. The Bulls won their last contest at Alumni Arena, a 3-1 victory over Akron.

Garcia Keeps On Digging

Senior Lizaiha Garcia (Dayton, OH/Beavercreek) added another 25 digs to her career total this past week as she had 16 digs against Miami (OH), while adding another nine digs against Bowling Green. Garcia currently has 301 digs on the season, which is tops on the team.

Five Bulls Hit Century Mark In Kills

The Bulls have ran a balanced attack this season as five players have reached at least 100 kills so far. Junior Claudia Neba (Aurora, CO/Smoky Hill/Rutgers) leads the team with 138 kills, while freshman Marisa Hornbaker (Colorado Springs, CO/Colorado Springs Christian) is second with 123 kills. Sophomore Kelsey Lueders (Littleton, CO/Chatfield) and freshman Kristin Bignell (Drayton, Ontario/Norweel District) have recorded 117 and 116 kills, respectively, while sophomore Maria Mezzadri (Livonia, MI/Livonia Stevenson) has added 113 kills.

Up Next

The Bulls host matches this weekend against a pair of schools from the MAC West. Western Michigan comes to town on Friday night at 7:00 pm, while Northern Illinois will wrap up the weekend with a 7:00 pm match on Saturday night.
