TOLEDO, OH – The University at Buffalo women's tennis team rallied to upset top seed Miami (OH) 4-3 in the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament at the UT Varsity Tennis Courts on Thursday afternoon.

Later, freshman Blanca Berges overcame a dropped first set to win 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 at six singles to extend the UB lead, but the RedHawks answered with wins at fifth and first singles to even the score at three and send the contest to the deciding match at third singles, where senior Jagmeet Kaur stepped up in a big way, battling to a hard-fought 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 victory to clinch the win.
The Bulls will face the winner of #2 Northern Illinois and #3 Toledo in the championship on Friday at 11 am.
