GAME 7: NIAGARA 68, BUFFALO 65 (OT)<br />

December 11, 2004 • <strong>Buffalo</strong>, NY • Attendance: 3,142<br />

The Bulls overcame a 12-point deficit midway through<br />

the second half before eventually falling to visiting<br />

Niagara, 68-65, in front of 3,142 fans in Alumni Arena.<br />

Niagara took a 10-0 lead to open the game and led<br />

by as many as 13 in the first half, but the Bulls used a<br />

16-5 run to end the half down by just two, 28-26. A<br />

13-1 run by the Purple Eagles in the second half put<br />

them up by 12, 47-35, but <strong>Buffalo</strong> slowly climbed back<br />

into the game, forcing OT with a jumper in the lane<br />

by senior Allison Bennett with 1:10 left in regulation.<br />

NU’s Eva Cunningham, however, took control in the<br />

extra session with seven points, including four late<br />

free throws, to secure the win for the Purple Eagles.<br />

Junior Brooke Meunier led all scorers with a careerhigh<br />

25 points, and freshman Heather Turner (13<br />

points, career-high 16 rebounds) and Bennett (12<br />

points, career-high 11 rebounds) both recorded<br />

double-doubles. The Bulls outrebounded Niagara by a<br />

62-43 margin, with Turner (16), Bennett (11), freshman<br />

Stephanie Bennett (nine) and sophomore Belinda<br />

Gibb (eight) all grabbing career highs.<br />

GAME 9: CANISIUS 81, BUFFALO 65<br />

December 18, 2004 • <strong>Buffalo</strong>, NY (Koessler Center) • Attendance: 817<br />

Canisius shot 54.1 percent from the floor and scored<br />

55 points in the first half en route to an 81-65 home<br />

win over the Bulls. <strong>Buffalo</strong> outscored Canisius by a<br />

40-26 margin in the second half and had three players<br />

finish in double figures in scoring, led by 15 points<br />

from junior Brooke Meunier, but it was not enough<br />

to overcome Canisius’ first-half dominance. The Griffs<br />

broke the game open with an 18-2 first-half run that<br />

started with a 10-0 spurt in a span of 1:41 midway<br />

through the half. Canisius led by 30 at halftime, 55-25,<br />

and its largest lead of the game was 32, 55-23, with 49<br />

seconds to play in the first half. The Bulls dominated<br />

on the glass, outrebounding the Griffs by a 48-39<br />

margin, but they converted 22 offensive rebounds into<br />

just 12 second-chance points. <strong>Buffalo</strong> also struggled<br />

from the free throw line, shooting just 8-for-21 in<br />

the game (38.1 percent). In addition to Meunier’s<br />

game-high 15 points, senior Allison Bennett and<br />

freshman Heather Turner also reached double digits<br />

with 14 apiece.<br />
