Kristen Sharkey ('14) updates you on the season.
Read what Sharkey had to say about two of her teammates....
It is hard to believe that I am starting my freshman spring semester as a student athlete here at UB. With all the excitement of basketball and studying for class, time flies by really fast! Before we know it we will be heading into post season with our heads held high and ready to dominate any opponent that steps in our way. Like I have said before, we are a force to be reckoned with. As long as we prepare our minds and our bodies we will be unstoppable. On Wednesday afternoon we played Central Michigan of the MAC West and showed them that we are a tough team to beat. With a score of 92-89 we came out on top. Kourtney Brown became the school’s all time leading scorer and rebounder while Jessica Fortman joined the very prestigious 1000 point club. Unfortunately I was unable to make the contest due to a high ankle sprain so I had to stay back in Buffalo and listen to the game via internet. I wish I was there to experience such milestones in my friends’ basketball careers but sometimes you just got to take what life throws at you and strive forward.
Speaking of striving forward, we are going to begin our second round of MAC East play next week and are ready for what is to come. Every day we work hard to become a better team. Basketball is a lot like school. You can’t just sit in class and expect to know everything and get straight A’s. It takes time out of the classroom with reading and studying to reach your true potential. It is the same with basketball. You can’t just simply show up to be the best. You have to stay focused all practice, be excited to learn, and even put extra time in the gym on your own. The preparation for a game is the same as a test. You have to know the players and understand their strengths and weaknesses and how to overcome them just like you need to know concepts for a test and understand them. Being a student athlete has been the biggest blessing in my life. To be able to do the thing I love and get an education at the same time is truly awarding. I am learning so much about myself as a person and what my capabilities are. With hard work comes great reward! Just ask Kourtney Brown or Jessica Fortman, all their hard work over their careers’ is rewarding them with their names forever being remembered in UB history. Come out and support the BULLS on Saturday for a double header starting with the Men @ 12pm versus Northern Illinois and the Women @ 2:30pm versus Ball State!! It will sure be one to remember as Kourtney Brown will go for her 1000th rebound which will be the first woman to do so in all the years of Buffalo Women’s Basketball!
LET’S GO BULLS!!!!!!
