CLEVELAND, Ohio - Four University of Akron women's basketball players scored in double figures, led by freshman Lilli Piper's (Norton, Ohio) career-high 24 points, but the Zips (19-13) fell in a heartbreaking 88-87 decision against Buffalo (19-13) in the Mid-American Conference Tournament Semifinals on Friday afternoon, March 11, at Quicken Loans Arena.

Following the setback against the Bulls, Akron must now wait out postseason selections on Monday evening, March 14, to see if its 2015-16 body of work earns the Zips a Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) berth.
