UB entered the fourth quarter with a 53-38 lead with all signs pointing towards a MAC title game appearance. But the Rockets would outscore Buffalo 29-14 in the fourth quarter to force overtime.
But when it mattered most, the Bulls found a way to get it done. Hattie Ogden would hit a three to break the 67-67 tie early in OT. And from there Buffalo would never lose the lead.
Chellia Watson led all scorers with 30 points in the win. Following up on her record breaking 47-point performance against Toledo back in January.
