YPSILANTI, MI – The University at Buffalo volleyball team fought hard against the host Eastern Michigan Eagles, but fell to EMU, 3-0, Friday night at the Convocation Center. UB had its best chance in game three where it hit .216, but fell just short.

EMU took the match 30-25, 30-26, 30-28, but the Bulls had opportunities in each of the three games on the evening. UB was led by freshman Richelle Bigelow (Littleton, CO/Dakota Ridge) who recorded a team-high 10 kills in her return to the court after missing the last 13 matches. Bigelow recorded the 10 kills with just one error on a match-high 35 attack attempts. Bigelow also had three digs and three service aces. Junior Claudia Neba (Aurora, CO/Smoky Hill/Rutgers) had nine kills and a match-high 14 digs, which were also a career best for Neba who also added three total blocks, including one solo. Neba also added two service aces. Freshman Kristin Bignell (Drayton, Ontario/Norwell District) had five kills in the middle and added four block assists.
