Welcome to the Zena Elias show!
While a number of Bulls players shined brightly as Buffalo overcame an early 16 point Akron lead to win by 22, junior center Zena Elias (pictured above), to use a theatrical expression, stole the show. Elias has gone on one of the most spectacular rebounding rampages in recent memory. Against Akron, she pulled down 16 rebounds (a career high) in 29 minutes of playing time, and in the last four games, she has 46 rebounds in 87 minutes of playing time. This is truly Sam Pellom territory.
To put this further into perspective, Elias had only 10 rebounds during her first two years as a Bull, and a career high of 3 rebounds prior to the last four games.
