UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO ATHLETICS
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The University at Buffalo volleyball program will open up Mid-American Conference play this weekend when the Bulls return to Alumni Arena for the first time in almost a month. UB will host Bowling Green on Friday evening and Miami (OH) on Saturday. Both matches will begin at 6pm and are free to the public.
The Bulls enter conference play with an 8-4 record, one of three MAC East teams that won eight matches during non-conference play. Sophomore setter Tia Gleason was named the MAC East Setter of the Week for the second straight week following her 56-assist performance in the four-set win over Howard. Sophomore Andrea Mitrovic leads the Bulls with 171 kills, averaging just under 4.00 kills per set.
Bowling Green enters Friday night’s match with a 6-7 record following a tough non-conference schedule. Most recently the Falcons won the BGSU Invitational following wins over Marshall, IUPUI, and Nicholls State. Bowling Green returns the MAC Defensive Player of the Year in libero Kallie Seimet, who led the nation in digs last season at 6.81 per set. This year she has 287 digs so far, 6.24 per set.
