BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo women's basketball team dropped another close contest, this time to Miami (OH), 72-67, at Alumni Arena on Saturday afternoon. It was the Bulls third straight loss of five points or less.

Jazmine Young made a pair of free throws to extend the UB lead to 57-50 with 8:01 remaining. The Bulls led 64-61 with 3:37 left on a Zakiyah Winfield jumper in paint. Miami 's Sierra Morrow made her first of two three-pointers down the stretch to tie the game, 64-64.
With the Bulls trailing, 65-64, with 1:17 left on the clock, Re'Shawna Stone scored and was fouled. Her free throw put the Bulls up by two. Miami tied it at the free throw line at the other end on its next possession.
Following a turnover by the Bulls, Morrow drained a three-pointer from the top of the key to give the RedHawks the 70-67 advantage with 26 seconds left. The Bulls were unable to score again, allowing Miami to escape Alumni Arena with the victory.
The loss spoiled another terrific effort by Stone. The Bulls' point guard finished with 23 points to lead all scorers. Young and Winfield also reached double-digits with 15 and 14 points, respectively.
