After our practice at Western Michigan, every player made sure to find Coach Charity's Hall of Fame plaque in the Read Fieldhouse. Coach Charity is a very modest person and rarely speaks of her accomplishments so this was a wonderful way for the players to find out a little more....
The writing on the plaque is a little too small to read so here's a summary: a standout player at Western Michigan, Coach Charity was an honorable mention All-American in 1978 and ‘80 and also a member of the U.S. silver medal-winning team at the 1977 World Games. She also played in the initial Women’s All- American Classic in Philadelphia in 1977 and was one of 15 candidates for the Wade Trophy, honoring the nation’s top collegiate player. Coach Charity is the only player in WMU's history to record 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career. We are very honored to have you here at UB, Coach Charity!
Senior Brittany Hedderson led the Bulls to overtime victory over Oakland on Thursday, December 22nd. Britt's 39 points marked a school record, which had stood for over 30 years. The previous record for points in a game was 38, which Regina Frazier set against D'Youville during the 1977-78 season. Atta girl, Britt!
You’ve all been so amazingly supportive of us throughout the years and we want you to know how much your support means to us. We are grateful beyond words. We wish you and your loved ones happy holidays. GO BULLS!
The Bulls got to tour the Nation's Capitol before facing Howard Bison on Tuesday night, December 20th.
During our game against St. Bonaventure on December 10, Brittany Hedderson went over the 1,000 point mark in her career. Britt is just the 20th player in school history to do so. Congratulations!
Playing Canisius is like a sibling rivalry where we've always been the little sister. But we've grown up. It was a rough first two years, but it was time for us to make our stand. After coming off the largest margin victory the previous year, we knew we had to make a stand again. It was our time to show who the best team in Buffalo really is. It felt like the summer again. Like the refs and fans didn't exist. It was showing that all the blood and sweat from the summer paid off. That all those late night, grueling runs that left us feeling beat up at lift the next morning gave us the extra edge. It was like we were playing against ourselves, with us knowing their every little move, and with them knowing ours. At game time it was about executing, with us knowing exactly what we had to do and how we had to play them, but also having fun and reminding ourselves that we've beaten them over and over again and now it was time to take a stand. After the ending buzzer, all I could do is smile. We held onto the bragging rights again. We did it. Being a senior, I won't have to worry about seeing them around and hearing the chirping or a "maybe next year." I cannot wait until pick up again to see the Griffs and continue the dominance by UB. To get those wins back on our side and hopefully one day to have the Bulls become the older sister beating up on the younger one constantly. It's our time to keep it going, and now it just lands in the hands of our Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, and incoming class. And I know they are going to make us proud!
