Cierra Dillard had to sit out the first basketball season of her UB career.
Dillard was the top scorer at UMass Amherst averaging 15.5 points a game and having 60 steals in her 2015-16 season. She had to sit out the 2016-17 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
Dillard made her return on Nov. 3 in an exhibition game against the Bloomsburg Huskies (1-1). She went 1-5 recording 2 points in the Bulls 64-32 win.
It was not the epic return she had hoped for.
“Coming back against Bloomsburg was a rush of emotions,” Dillard said.
