There will be better barometers as the season goes on - perhaps tomorrow's dual against Bryant - than today's match against #42 Dartmouth for Men's Tennis in their MAC Championship defense, but for those of us waiting for the second semester and the resultant flurry of spring sports to finally get going, today provided something new even as the Bulls fell to the Big Green, 5-1.
Moreso than the actual intrigue of the match was our first look at Coach Nickell's lineup. With only seven names on the roster right now, UB doesn't have a lot of breathing room in replacing a pair of graduated seniors and a pair of transfers.
