CLEVELAND, OH – For the first time in school history, the University at Buffalo women's basketball team will play for a Mid-American Conference championship after upsetting 5th-seeded Akron, 88-87, in the semifinals of the MAC Tournament on Friday afternoon.
"I'm just so proud of this young team, head coach Felisha Legette-Jack said. "They're resilient, I tell you. We're getting better. We've got a long way to go, but we're going to enjoy this moment for sure."
When Stephanie Reid fouled out of the game early in the third quarter, Legette-Jack had to turn to her young bench to step up.
