BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo volleyball team returns to Western New York after playing their last four matches on the road with three straight at Alumni Arena. That begins with a pair of matches against Northern Illinois this weekend.

Buffalo has gone five sets in three of the last four matches, picking up its first win of the season at Eastern Michigan.

Defensively, sophomore Jenna Sonnenberg is coming of one of her best weekends as she had a career high 26 digs against Western Michigan and she leads the Bulls with 162. Junior setter Kyndal Bacon is second with 105 digs.
Northern Illinois is 6-8 on the season as the Huskies have split their last two weekends with Miami (OH) and Akron, respectively.
