Buffalo’s women’s basketball team put together a very solid performance, never trailing against Rhode Island, with a 69–55 victory. The Bulls were led by super-senior Summer Hemphill, who had 20 points on 9-for-16 shooting, including 2-for-3 from beyond the arc. Buffalo’s record is now 5–2, their only losses coming to nationally ranked teams.
Hemphill had struggled offensively in Buffalo’s last two games, but against Rhode Island, Hemphill consistently found herself open around the free-throw line, and made a high percentage of those shots, perhaps you could say that is her signature shot now (photo above). Hemphill had the Play of the Game™ as the Bulls were trying to run down the shot clock, late in the fourth quarter with 1:56 left, leading 65–55.
