Listen to the song that inspires Ashley Zuber ('11) the most, Till I Collapse by Eminem. If you know anything about Ashley, then you know this song is very fitting for her life!

Kristen Sharkey ('14) gives a update on the season thus far...
As you may already know we finished our non-conference play on January 2nd with a win over Ivy League’s Brown University. Going into MAC play we were 7-6 with confidence that we are a force to be reckoned with. This season so far has been going extremely well. We had some tough games against Big Ten, SEC, and A10 teams. It really shows that we can hang in there with the big dogs and we are a tough opponent as well. We will never back down in any game situation. Being a freshman and being able to experience all this for the first time has been really exciting. Success is knocking at our door and everyday as we prepare we are getting closer and closer to welcoming that success with open arms. Believing that we can do anything is what will pull us through to victory. Now it is time to clear the slate board and not dwell on the games we previously played. We must use them as tools to learn from and see how we need to better ourselves to be a true contender for the MAC title.
On January 5th we opened MAC play with a 61-45 win over Akron. Our tough defense held them to 29% from the field and 23% from behind the arc. We held their top scorer to a mere 4 points and frustrated them early in the game with lots of ball pressure and energy. We let our defense create our offense by forcing turnovers and capitalizing on them. We are all very excited about what is in store for us this season. We are working hard every day in practice to do big things! This is our time to start a winning tradition here at UB and be a force in the Mid-American Conference.
