Cory Conacher scored on a penalty shot with 5:36 left to give Canisius a 4-3 victory
over Mercyhurst at the Buffalo State Ice Arena and a sweep of its two-game weekend
home-and-home series against the Lakers on Saturday night. Canisius (4-6, 3-3 AH) was awarded
the penalty shot when a Mercyhurst defenseman closed his hand over the puck in the crease. (Updated: 11/08/09 12:11 AM )

Blocked punts come back to haunt UB
Special teams has been an issue for the University at Buffalo for most of this season and the unit, specifically the punt team, played a huge role in the Bulls' disappointing 30-29 loss to Bowling Green on Tuesday night. (Updated: 11/10/09 8:18 AM )
Barnes breaks through to lead BGSU past UB
For nearly three quarters, the University at Buffalo was close to accomplishing its main
objective of keeping Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes in check. But great players
stay in the background for only so long. (Updated: 11/10/09 8:18 AM )
Game analysis: Breaking down BGSU's victory over UB
Game analysis: Special teams and the lack of offense in the second half kept the
Bulls from winning. A pair of blocked punts led to two Bowling Green touchdowns. The Falcons
are talented enough offensively and didn't need the Bulls help to score. (Updated: 11/10/09 8:18 AM )
UB notebook: Bulls must win out to be bowl eligible
The University at Buffalo more than likely had to win its remaining four games of the
season to have a chance at a bowl game but even if the Bulls had finished with a 7-5 record
there were no guarantees. (Updated: 11/10/09 8:18 AM )
DiCesare: Clawson's long memory pays off for Bowling Green
They had lived with the memory for nearly a year, spent countless nights examining what had
happened, how it could happen. Who lets a 20-point fourth-quarter lead get away at home in
what amounts to a divisional title game? How does one ever make sense of that? (Updated: 11/10/09 8:18 AM )

1. Keeping it simple (Updated: 11/09/09 9:49 PM )
Victory would keep UB's bowl hopes alive
The University at Buffalo's football program was quite different when Dave Clawson was an
assistant coach. The practice field was on the Main Street campus and the stadium had wooden
bleachers that were falling apart. (Updated: 11/09/09 9:49 PM )
College report: Niagara advances
Senior Chiara Greco assisted on the tying goal late in regulation and scored the

Loyola at noon at Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (Updated: 11/02/09 1:04 AM )
UB to see a great deal of Barnes
When Dave Clawson went through his first offseason conditioning and spring football workouts
as coach at Bowling Green, he discovered something early: Freddie Barnes is the Falcons' best
player. (Updated: 11/02/09 1:01 AM )

UB notebook: Defensive end, safety add to injury woes
Turner Gill joked again about how he might have to suit up because the University at Buffalo has so many injuries. But at the rate the Bulls are going, the head coach might be serious.
Redshirt freshman defensive end Willie Moseley and senior free safety Chris Storr are both out for the season. Moseley fractured his hip during the Bulls' loss last week at Western Michigan and the injury required season-ending surgery. Storr suffered an MCL sprain during the Western Michigan game.

UB to use bye week to try to set table
Even after suffering another crushing overtime defeat at Western Michigan, the University at Buffalo talked about running the table in its remaining four games. During the preseason when the Bulls were picked to win the Mid-American Conference's East Division, that seemed realistic. Now, nothing is certain. (Updated: 10/25/09 9:06 PM )
UB-Western Michigan game analysis
Game analysis: So much for trying to repeat. It will take a monumental collapse from
either Temple, Kent State (surprise!) or Ohio for UB to win the MAC's East Division after
Saturday's loss to Western Michigan. It also means that the Bulls will have to win out, which
isn't a given, either. The defense took a step backward, giving up 500-plus yards to Tim
Hiller and the Broncos and couldn't get a stop when it needed it the most. (Updated: 10/25/09 9:06 PM )
UB falls on field goal in overtime
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — When John Potter sent a 28-yard field goal through the uprights in
overtime, it not only halted the University at Buffalo's two-game win streak but more than
likely ended any chance of the Bulls repeating as Mid-American Conference champions. (Updated: 10/25/09 9:06 PM )

Progress is coordinated effort for UB football
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — When University at Buffalo head coach Turner Gill turned over play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Danny Barrett, he expected the offense to play at the same pace as the last two seasons. When he elevated Fred Reed to defensive coordinator, Gill expected to do things differently and faster. After a period of adjustment, Gill likes what he sees. (Updated: 10/24/09 1:17 PM )

Bulls need some scoring at home to get back on winning track
1. Making a stand. Defense was the anticipated strength for UB, but until the Central Michigan game the results had been sporadic and too many players were MIA. Middle linebacker Scott Pettigrew stepped it up big against the Chippewas, with a career-best 10 tackles and a fumble recovery. Ditto defensive tackle Anel Montanez, who also re-emerged as a disruptive presence. It’s imperative they continue to ease the burden on cyclonic weak-side LB Justin Winters and safeties Mike Newton and Davonte Shannon. Clarence grad John Syty takes over at strong-side LB in place of freshman Darius Willis, who’ll undergo season-ending surgery on a torn pectoral muscle. (Updated: 10/10/09 7:08 AM )
