The women's team, led by second-year head coach Becky Burke, handled business against cross-town rival Canisius. After trailing by 10 in the 3rd quarter, the Bulls went on a run after Hattie Ogden tied things up at 46 with a simple pick and roll.
Buffalo never let up from there; four players finished the night with double digits, helping the Bulls clinch their first win of the season.
