Hold an opponent to 19% shooting in a half, and you're likely to win.
UB Women's Basketball blitzed Bowling Green from the outset this evening on the way to a 60-44 win in their first round MAC Tournament matchup. Joanna Smith tallied 12 points and 6 boards in the first half alone after two tough regular season games against the Falcons.
The junior, named First Team All-MAC earlier today, finished with 16, but it was a slowed-down third quarter where Buffalo really iced the game. Bowling Green did not score for over eight minutes as UB's defense blew up every offensive set the Falcons had, as the visitors turned the ball over seven times in the third quarter alone and UB opened a 51-29 lead heading into the last quarter.
