SECTION B

By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER

It was a whirlwind three days for Starpoint as tears of jubilation turned into tears of sadness just like that.

At the beginning of the year, Starpoint head coach Scott Bindemann did not set goals, he set expectations, and they did so by winning the Class A2 sectional championship on Thursday (Oct. 30) with a 3-1 victory over LewistonPorter.

After the win, Bindemann was thrilled to win the first sectional title in school history, but he knew there was still another game to play to meet the expectations of winning Class A. “It feels great,” said Bindemann. “They really did an outstanding job. These guys, all season long, have done everything that they needed to do to get to this point and there is still one more game. There is still the A1 and A2 crossover game which is the section game. Our goal was that and so far it’s going as planned.

We have to work at practice tomorrow and come out on Saturday.”

Unfortunately, the Spartans’ incredible unbeaten season came to a crushing end as they fell to Williamsville South in the Section VI Class A crossover game, 2-1 in overtime, just two days later.

STARPOINT SOCCER SECT. VI CLASS A2

Members of the Starpoint boys soccer team celebrate their Section VI Class A2 championship victory on Oct. 30. The Spartans’ season came to an end when they lost in the Class A crossover game on Nov. 1. Photo by Jeffrey T. Barnes.

The game was within Starpoint’s grasp, as the team scored to take a 1-0 lead with 13 minutes left, but a crucial call by the officials gave the Billies a corner kick and Joe Malinowski buried a pass by Lucas Principle to tie it up with 4:45 to go.

Once the game went to overtime, it was team captain and leading scorer Jordan Ackerman that was

able to get the game-winner to stun the previously unbeaten Spartans.

“It’s a tough way to lose it,” said Starpoint head coach Scott Bindemann.

“Honestly I think we had five minutes left and we were going to win the game.

That goal just went in and it’s a tough the way that we ended up getting a corner kick after they had called a goal kick but it is what is it

is. The kids played great all season long and I’m super proud of them.”

KJ Maldiner finally broke a scoreless tie 67 minutes into the game for his 20th goal of the season and it appeared as if Starpoint was in full control at that point, but it was not to be on that night.

“We scored first,” said Bindemann. “The game was there for us. Unfortu-

nately something went in and we were scrambling at the end there.”

While goalkeepers may only remember the final goal getting past them, Starpoint netminder Sam DelPrince was tremendous all night in goal.

DelPrince came up with eight huge saves in the game, including one with 12 seconds to play in regulation to send the game into

overtime.

“He was definitely the star,” said Bindemann. “He made some big saves, he was directing traffic out there, he did a great job and he’s done that all season long for us so I wasn’t surprised by it. He should really hold his head up high because he did a great job.”

Truilizio’s third season at North Tonawanda a success

It might the end of football season in terms of games, but it really isn’t a goodbye. At least not yet.

On Oct. 30 North Tonawanda varsity football coach Tony Truilizio was gathering some items from his office.

Truilizio had just met with his players and coaches for one final official time as a team after the Jacks saw their season come to a close when they fell to West Seneca East in the Section VI Class A quarterfinals on Oct. 24.

But, as Truilizio said, just because the 2014 season has come to a close, the process of the

being part of the Lumberjacks football program keeps moving forward for everyone.

“I didn’t want to make it too emotional or anything like that,” said Truilizio. “I think if you start to ponder what’s really going to happen then you start getting yourself a little bit upset…

In this case I’m going to wait until our banquet to say final goodbyes, so to speak. But the positive is the recruiting part of the season starts now. So I’ll see a lot of the seniors all of December and in January a lot of them will be getting their offers or acceptance letters.”

This season, Truilizio’s third at NT, was another year of growth for the Lumberjacks. They came into the season as the 2013 Chuck Funke Bowl Class A champions and had the mission of making the playoffs, which they did.

But that core group of seniors, Chris Woodard, Alex Molik, Taylor Mellott, Drew Krantz, and Dan Lukaszonas, who grew in this program alongside Truilizio and were the core of this playoff team, will be moving on.

Truilizio understandably said that the young men moving on will certainly be tough to replace.

“The typical, cliché, ‘you can never really replace those guys.’ But it’s true,” Truilizio said.

“I consider myself an experienced coach. With this core group of seniors, they’ve helped me grow and become a better coach. Just the transition from Buffalo Public to North Tonawanda, I can’t express how much I’ve improved as a coach.

And it’s because of that group of guys.”

Lady Jacks face end of an era, boys fall in semifinals

The Lady Jacks will say goodbye to a lot of seniors, including Leanna Metzger and Gabby Hansen.

By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

There are ends of a season, and then there are the ends of an era.

On Oct. 30, the North Tonawanda Lady Jacks volleyball team experienced both.

The top-ranked Lady Jacks saw their season

come to a heartbreaking end when they fell in four sets to No. 5 Sweet Home in the Section VI Class A semifinals that were played at the Alumni-Student Activity Center.

Sweet Home, which is coached by former Lady Jack Bree Trapasso-Martin, set the tone by taking the first two sets.

North Tonawanda fought back to take game three, 25-18, before the Panthers closed it out with a 25-23 nail biter in the fourth set.

It was a devastating end

to the season for the Jacks, who just two days earlier eliminated Hamburg in four games in the quarterfinals.

Finishing with an overall record of 17-2, the Lady Jacks won their second straight Niagara Frontier League championship with a perfect 14-0 mark and won the title outright after sharing it with NiagaraWheatfield last season.

But as the Lady Jacks hugged each other before leaving the gym, they weren’t just saying goodbye to the season. They were saying farewell to seniors Kayla Higgins, Leanna Metzger, Gabby Hansen and Marissa Sly, who were the core of the team’s back-to-back league titles.

“They didn’t give in, ever,” said Lady Jacks coach Jess Anderson.

“That’s one thing, they’ve never given in. They’re always pushing, they’re talking.”

Metzger, Hansen and Higgins served as tri-captains this season and set the foundation of dedication and team work that returning players will carry with them as they move forward.

“Enjoy it while you can,” Hansen advised the younger girls. “Make it last.”

The Lady Jacks will return core starters in Liz Wildt and Julie Milbrand

as well as Alyssa Privitera, Chloe Zuch, Rachel Anderson, Erin O’Lay, Lindsey Brzozowski, Rachel Krawczyk and Samantha Jurczak.

On the boys side, the Lumberjacks saw their season end on Oct. 30 as well at the hands of top-

ranked Eden.

North Tonawanda swept Kenmore East in the Class A quarterfinals in a boys/ girls double header prior to the Lady Jacks’ win over Hamburg.

The Jacks say goodbye to seniors Donovan Book,

Sam Weglarski, James Davignon, Damian Bradley, Kyle Brady, Robert Johnson, Joe Karl, Zach Krisnosky, Griffin Spatorico and Jonah Verhague.

Victor Willison and Josh Mahoney will return to lead NT next season.

North Tonawanda fell to top-ranked Eden in the Section VI Class A semifinals.

Bindemann: DelPrince ‘definitely the star’ of crossover game “Soccer” from page B1 This has been a record-setting season for Starpoint, as it won Class A2 for the first sectional championship in school history after finishing towards the bottom of the section a season ago.

The Spartans will lose nine seniors from this team, including starters DelPrince (14 shutouts), J a r o d D i c k e y, N i c k Dumond (24 goals, 10 assists), Drew Howard, Maldiner, Tyler Valentine (20 assists) and Nick Walker.

Bindemann and his seniors have created quite a bond that was strengthened by having the successful season that they did.

“I think it’s probably the closest team that I’ve ever been around,” said Bindemann. “They did team bonding activities and for me personally to be with these kids for the better part of seven years to see them grow and become close friends.

Playing soccer all season

long showed how awesome the journey was.”

Starpoint may not be a one-year wonder, though, as it returns some key players also, including starters Jake Graham, Jake Ratka, AJ Wade and Sam Wagner as well as several underclassmen that came off of the bench.

So despite the fact that the present is grim, Bindemenn knows that the future of his program is extremely bright and that the Spartans could be back in the same place next year.

“We have a lot of pieces,” said Bindemann.

“We brought up a couple of young guys for the sectional run. The future looks bright for us. I think we’ll be back again.”

Starpoint finished the season 17-1-2, and its 19 consecutive games without a defeat is tied for ninth all-time in Section VI history.

Jarod Dickey is one of nine Starpoint seniors that will graduate after a sectional title-winning season.

Ice Griffs, Harborcenter full of positives but also need tweaks

By Mike Haim COLUMNIST

It’s often heard in today’s Silicon Valley startup culture that failure is good and inevitably helps individuals and companies succeed in larger and more significant ways.

While the Canisius College hockey team and the management of their new home facility might not fully embrace that philosophy, some elements of this past weekend will hopefully be potentially helpful to both parties in the long run.

As the Ice Griffs went winless against a tough Ohio State team in their first two games at the sparkling Harborcenter complex in

downtown Buffalo, the facility still needs to address some weaknesses amidst an overwhelming number of strong points.

The Canisius games took place alongside 16-under and 18-under AAA tournaments in the inaugural Harborcenter Cup series, which made for an interesting scene where ticketholders commingled with tournament participants, their families, and perhaps some total strangers just passing through for a look-see.

The feature rink, the Golden Griffins’ new nest, includes nine rows of basic yet attractive wooden bench seating, great sightlines and bright lighting. Walkways ring the perimeter of the

seating area and provide a neat standing-room alternative.

Sellout crowds of 2,000 each night took part in festivities and checked out the complex during its grand opening weekend. They also had a chance to celebrate early, as the Griffs scored twice in the opening game’s first 1:49 on Friday night.

However, Ohio State clawed their way back and eventually the clubs settled for a 3-3 tie. Saturday night, the Buckeyes stymied Canisius and scored a 4-1 win.

Despite the loss, the Griffs still have a winning record for the season (4-3-1) as they travel this weekend to Sacred Heart. The games against Ohio State were a good test for Canisius, which

had never won against a Big 10 team (the Griffs are now 0-6-1 all-time against teams from that conference).

Canisius, selected by its conference coaches to finish sixth among 11 teams in Atlantic Hockey, expects to see Harborcenter provide a true home-ice advantage.

The team has 14 more home games at the facility this season, with a pair coming up next weekend against RIT. “To establish home-ice advantage, with its traditions, does take a little bit,” admitted Canisius coach Dave Smith. “So far, the environment and the electricity in the air have been awesome. We look to have a true opportunity to establish something special.”

The Griffs got acclimated

to the new digs with several practices at Harborcenter prior to Friday’s inaugural game. The same might not have been true for the facility staff that likely had no chance to perform a “dry run” before the event-filled opening weekend.

Long lines for concessions are to be expected early on, but parking could become a source of trouble if participants, with their heavy equipment bags, have difficulty getting close to their rink whether or not there’s an event at the First Niagara Center.

In addition, I’m not impressed that each rink only has a scoreboard at one end.

The place is going to be hosting IIHL (i.e., world) tournaments; it would be

nice for one team to know how much time remains in penalties without needing to turn around. Dual scoreboards might be a luxury in community rinks, but Harborcenter is supposed the transcend that.

Make no mistake, any new building is going to have its share of “growing pains,” or unanticipated issues that nobody thought of during the planning process.

Perhaps Canisius’ sophomore forward Shane Conacher (brother of former Griff great and current NHL-er Cory) says it best, though he was specifically describing his team: “We have stuff to work on, but we’re going to get better.

We’re excited about where we’re going.”

Starpoint Lady Spartans fall short in quest for second straight-sectional championship

By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER

Last year, Starpoint caught lightning in a bottle by bringing home the Class B1 sectional championship after finishing the regular season with a losing record.

This season, the Spartans came close, but lightning didn’t strike twice as the Lady Spartans fell to Williamsville South in the Class B1 title game 25-16, 25-13, 25-19 on Tuesday night (Nov. 4).

Starpoint entered the contest as the sixth seed and had eight players back from last year’s team, but the top-seeded Billies came out firing from the start to bring down the defending champs.

In the first set, Williamsville South jumped out to a big lead.

The Lady Spartans fought back

to cut it in half, but they just couldn’t sustain the offense.

The Billies would come out slow in the second set, and Starpoint led 8-7 at one point, but the top seed went on an 18-5 run to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the contest.

“I think both teams had a bit of nerves right away,” said Williamsville South head coach Tom Sproull. “We had a few more unforced errors right away. They were a little juiced up, getting to the ball a little early, causing them to hit it deep. We had some more hitting and serving errors than I would have liked but once they calmed down and just played their game and did what they needed to do.”

South continued the run by scoring the first five points of the third set, and it seemed like Starpoint was stuck in quick sand that it couldn’t dig itself out of.

Billies outside hitters Jessica Miller and Melissa Postek were dominant at the net all night, coming up with spike after spike that the Lady Spartans just couldn’t answer to.

“Our two outsides or our right side when Jess Miller was in the front row,” said Sproull.

“She would contribute a lot so we would move her all over the place. She hit on the outside and the right side. They are our go-to when we need them.”

While Williamsville South came in with the No. 1 seed in the section, Starpoint being the defending champion made them the favorite in many eyes, except the Billies.

“We talked about really being the opposite,” said Sproull.

“We felt like we were the favorite for a reason and we felt if we just played our game and did what have been doing all season long the results would take care of themselves. Starpoint is good, they’ve played us tough, and this is the third time that we have played them.

They know us and we know them so we knew it was going to be a tough one. We were all playing our part.”

Williamsville South took on Albion for the overall Class B championship on Thursday (Nov. 6). Results weren’t available at press time.

Coach hopeful new leaders will emerge next season “Football” from page B1 Woodard leaves as the program’s all-time leader in passing yards with 2,606 and rushing yards with 2,574.

This season, Woodard threw for 545 yards and rushed for 1,335. He scored 33 career touchdowns and amassed 5,180 career all-purpose yards.

Mellott led the Jacks with 66 tackles this season and 145 for his career.

Lukaszonas averaged six tackles per game with a standout performance of 11 tackles in the TNT game.

Junior Cody Sikora, junior David Eichorst, sophomore Joe Dotterweich (366 yards rushing/25 of 28 PATs), and sophomore Zack Woodard (40 tackles) are among the underclassmen who will be expected to play bigger roles.

But in terms of who will be the leaders, the players have to determine that themselves.

“That was one of the things I said to the younger guys. ‘It’s your team now.

It’s your team now. It’s your team now,’” said Truilizio.

“I’m sort of curious as to which guys are going to step up and say, ‘yes, this is my team. I’m going to lead this team to the playoffs again.

And I wasn’t satisfied with

Nedell named THS varsity wrestling coach

By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

Nate Wilkinson (12) is one of a host of seniors graduating from this year’s NT football team, which earned a playoff berth. a first-round playoff exit. I want to go on.’ That’s what I’m hoping for.”

Saying that they have more starters coming back on both sides of the ball than

what they are losing, Truilizio is understandably optimistic and excited about his team, next year and beyond.

“We have a lot of positives coming back,” he said.

Dave Nedell can honestly say he now has his dream job.

Nedell, who has spent 19 years on the coaching staff of the Tonawanda High School wrestling team, was formally approved by the board of education as the Warriors’new varsity coach.

“It’s truly like a kid in a candy shop. This is one of the few jobs that I have dreamed of,” said Nedell, who is a physical education teacher in the district.

“When I first came to Tonawanda, I was at Williamsville East for a year.

When Tonawanda opened up a JV (wrestling) job it, was about a $400 pay decrease to come over to Tonawanda.

I came over because of my love of the program, obviously, having come from the program knowing that this is where I wanted to coach wrestling.”

Once a Warrior, always a Warrior. Nedell was a member

of the THS Class of 1987. He didn’t just wrestle; he was a member of the football and track and field teams as well.

Being a product of the Warriors’ wrestling program, Nedell feels that he, unlike other coaches who may have come from outside the district, can instill into the kids the honor and pride of wearing a Tonawanda wrestling singlet.

“It’s such a storied program.

We’ve only had one losing season in the entire history of the program,” Nedell said.

“That’s a pretty prestigious thing to go as long as we have.

Over 50 years with only one year with a losing record as a team. So it’s a dream come true and I don’t know if it’s fully set in yet. It’s humbling yet honoring to be handed the keys to that car.”

With experienced grapplers like Josh Bukowski and Tonawanda all-time wins leader Cody McGregor leading the way, the Warriors also have promising youngsters like Zach Braddell that will help keep the team moving forward. Most importantly, having been in the program so long coaching in the developmental stages of JV and modified has given Nedell a chance to earn the faith and respect of his team.

“Any time a program changes coaches, there’s always hiccups or whatever, but it minimizes when it’s somebody from within the program,” said Nedell. “And who’s been involved in the program. There’s no trying to get familiar with the person.

They understand me and what I expect and my expectations of them. I know where they’re coming from. I know their background.”

Also on staff with the Tonawanda football program, Nedell will be heading into his fifth season as head track and field coach.

Looking forward to the first official day of workouts on Nov. 10, Nedell’s staff will include two of Tonawanda’s all-time best, Steven Warthling and Jordan McGregor, both members of Tonawanda’s 100-Wins Club.

As the varsity wrestling coach, Nedell will continue to push his main message of ‘don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t compete just because you are from Tonawanda.’ Someone who bleeds maroon and white, Nedell is a strongcombination of motivator and tough taskmaster, which could help Tonawanda student-athletes reach their potential.

Wheatfield falls in Class AA final on OT penalty kick Stallions

By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER

Soccer can be a game of ups and downs.

That was never more evident for Niagara-Wheatfield goalkeeper Tim Calkins than in the Falcons’ 1-0 overtime loss to Orchard Park in the Class AA finals on Saturday evening (Nov. 1).

Calkins was tremendous towards the end of the game and into overtime, coming up with multiple game-saving stops, but one unfortunate play proved to be fatal.

With Orchard Park’s Con-

nor Saeli coming in unabated to the goal, the sophomore goalie had a decision to make.

He could either come out and play the ball or sit back and hope that he can guess where Saeli would put it.

Calkins chose to come out and play the ball, but unfortunately for NiagaraWheatfield he just clipped the player before he was able to touch the ball and the Quakers were awarded a penalty kick and Saeli buried it to give Orchard Park the sectional championship. “[Calkins] knows that he was in the right,” said NiagaraWheatfield head coach John Coulter. “He came out and made a hard on play on a ball.

He got a piece of the ball and sometimes refs see things and sometimes they don’t. That’s just the way the ball bounces.

That’s a tough way to lose a sectional title. I think that we had them on the ropes. I think the game was within reach at that point.”

It was an up-and-down game overall, as much of the first half and into the second was anything but wide-open, fast-paced soccer, but as the game neared regulation both teams began to open it up and that carried into overtime.

In a fast-paced scenario with players like Jeremy Bari, Niagara-Wheatfield felt that style of play was right up its alley and that it benefited the players on the team.

“It absolutely did,” Coulter said of the pace of the game.

“We conditioned hard all season long and we like to drag teams into overtime. We knew that once we got into overtime, that’s the deep water we like to

play in. We felt like we were really pushing hard and the breaks were going our way.

We were really laying on the offense pretty heavy.”

While it was a devastating way to end the season, it was still an incredibly successful one for Niagara-Wheatfield.

At the start of the season, the Falcons set out to win the Niagara Frontier League, which they accomplished.

They wanted to be ranked No. 1 in Class AA, and they were. Finally, they wanted to win sectionals. They came up just short.

“We have six guys graduating,” said Coulter. “We have a bunch of great players leaving us but we have a good strong core of guys coming back so we’ll be back out here next year.”

Bari, pound-for-pound one

of the top players in Section VI, quietly finished his career on a cold, snowy night at Hamburg High School.

It was a record-setting career and season for the senior sniper, who scored a schoolrecord 28 goals this year, but he was unable to capture a sectional championship to add to his resume.

“Any way this game came out, you had to be proud of this bunch of guys,” said Coulter. “They came out here, worked hard and pretty much accomplished everything we set out to do.”

Niagara-Wheatfield finishes the season 16-3-0, while Orchard Park (14-2-3) advances to play the Section V representative in the Far West Regionals on Saturday (Nov. 8) at Hamburg High School, with a start time of 5 p.m.

defeat Wings On Nov. 1, the Mite Minor Clarence Stallions defeated the West Seneca Wings, 3-1, at Hockey Outlet in North Tonawanda.

Defensemen Max Henning, Owen McIntyre, Drew Idzik and Tucker Schoen were stellar, allowing only one shot on goal, a third period screen shot that found the net.The Stallions managed 25 shots on the Wings’ goalie.

Stallions’ goals were scored by Luke Marchant, Finn Graham and Liam Graham. Xavier Thomann and Miles Santa Maria had assists.

FROM the SIDELINES

Holmes Elementary students take part in exclusive event Thanks in large part to the NFL’s Fuel Up to Play 60 program and the Buffalo Bills, 30 students from Holmes Elementary School were able to connect with Bills players at an exclusive Hometown Huddle event to learn about the importance of good nutrition and physical activity.

Not only that, they each had their picture taken with wide receiver Sammy Watkins and linebacker Preston Brown and walked away with $100 Wegmans gift cards, apparel, autographs and more.

Representatives from the Dairy Council met the students at the school and gave them Fuel Up to Play 60 shirts and Bills hats to wear to the event.

A school bus took them to the Wegmans grocery store in Blasdell, where they met with the 14 players who represent the Buffalo Bills Rookie Club.

Dan LiBurd, the Buffalo Bills nutritionist, taught the students about good

They each had their picture taken with

Watkins and Brown. They were able to meet all 14 Bills rookies and get their autographs. Finally, they

had the chance to move through the store, learning about healthy food groups and shopping with $100

Wegmans gift cards they received and the help of the Bills players.

Holmes Elementary School was chosen for the Hometown Huddle with help from Kim Roll, food service director for the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda UFSD, and the Dairy Council.

“It was such a cool event.

To see these great big Buffalo Bills players and our kids with their grocery bags — these fourth and fifth graders who were learning about nutrition — it was so exciting,” Roll said. “Our kids were so good. I was so proud of them.”

In addition to the NFL and the Bills, the Hometown Huddle is supported by American Dairy Association and Dairy Council, and the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County. According to Fuel Up to Play 60, the Hometown Huddle is “a league-wide day of service designed to bring awareness and impact to the issue of youth health and fitness”

and the event “aims to educate local youth on the importance of good nutrition through school meal programs as well as learning to navigate the grocery store.”

Fresh fruits and vegetables were a major topic at the Hometown Huddle and are a major focus this year at KenmoreTown of Tonawanda schools. In support of the newly revised wellness policy, which incorporates the 2010 Healthy, HungerFree Kids Act and Smart Snacks in Schools standards, the District has initiated a Fruit and Veggie of the Month program. The purpose of the program is to focus on one fruit and one vegetable each month so students can learn all about the nutritional benefits of, and best way to enjoy, each featured fruit and vegetable.

Apples and Brussels sprout were featured in October and strawberries and squash will be featured in November.

THE COLLEGE Frontier grad Mann, UB looking forward to hosting MAC playoffs

By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

Courtney Mann is a senior leader on the University at Buffalo women’s soccer team, but even she is barely old enough to remember the last time the Bulls hosted the MidAmerican Conference playoffs.

The Frontier High School graduate was 7 years old when the Bulls last won the MAC regular season championship in 2000.

“I remember my oldest sister (Lindsey) and my dad (Gary) came to the games,” Mann said.

The Mann family and many others in the local soccer community will be out at UB Stadium this weekend as the Bulls look to augment the best season in school history by qualifying for the NCAA tournament.

“It’s kind of surreal,” said sophomore defender Rachel Cook, a Williamsville South graduate.

“I’ve grown up in Buffalo and gone to UB camps since I was in elementary and middle school and it’s really neat to be here and be part of such a successful season.

Mann was excited by the turnout for UB’s quarterfinal victory over Toledo on Sunday.

“It was really cool, especially seeing the local clubs, clubs that I’ve coached,” she said.

“To be a local kid and there being a high-level soccer tournament in Buffalo is huge for the local community.”

UB (14-2-3 overall, 9-0-2 MAC) earned the right to host the playoff games by becoming just the third team in MAC history to go unbeaten in regular season play.

“And this conference is tough,” coach Shawn

Burke said. “In our last game, we played Akron at home and went to overtime and they finished 12th.

“That speaks to the depth of this league and is a huge testament to the girls and the body of work they’ve done to get these results.”

UB will ace Ball State in the semifinals at 4 p.m.

Friday. The Bulls won the regular season meeting at home on a penalty kick in overtime. The other semifinal between Western Michigan and Northern Illinois is at 7 p.m. Friday, and the championship game is Sunday.

Burke is in his firstyear as head coach after five seasons as an assistant.

“Burke’s thing when took over was we have the talent here,” Cook said. “We didn’t need to go get recruits or internationals. We just needed to use what we have.”

Courtney Mann (22), a Frontier graduate, was 7 years old when the Bulls last won the MAC regular season championship.

UB has two all-conference caliber attackers in Katie Roberts and Celina Carrero, and one of the

league’s top defenders in Jackie Hall. Freshman goalkeeper Laura Dougall has faced less than five

shots in 14 games, and has posted 14 shutouts.

She has a 0.37 goalsagainst average, and a .911 save percentage.

“She has had an incredible freshman year,” Mann said. “I don’t think anyone can compare. We had a very good goalkeeper last year, and there was no drop in play.”

Last year’s netminder, Ainsley Wheldon, ranks in the top four all-time in all of UB’s major goalkeeping categories.

“The greatest thing is these girls have really come together,” Burke said. “There is a reason the results are coming in our favor.

“These girls have earned all the accolades they are going to get. It’s been an amazing group.

It’s a fun group to be around and when you get a group playing for something bigger than themselves, it’s really special.”

Postseason remains UB’s goal even during winless streak

By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

The University at Buffalo football team hasn’t won a game in over a month and has gone through a coaching change during that span.

Yet, the Bulls still have their eyes on the postseason.

Even after losing three straight Mid-American Conference games, UB (3-5, 1-4) could still conceivably win its final four games and be-

come eligible for one of the MAC’s five bowl bids.

UB’s next four opponents have a combined record of 11-23.

“Nobody’s giving up,” wide receiver Ron Willoughby said. “We have four winnable games, and that brings us to seven wins, which is bowl eligible.”

Because two of their three wins have come against lower-division opponents, the Bulls must win out to become bowl eligible.

“Even if there were no bowl possibilities, we sign on here to give the best we possibly can until the very end,” interim coach Alex Wood said.

“We would never quit.

There is a flaw in your character when you think in those terms.”

UB even has an outside chance of winning the MAC East division, though it trails leader Bowling Green by two games and the Falcons hold the head-to-head tie-

breaker.

First, the Bulls must win at Ohio (4-5, 2-3), where they are 1-7 all-time, in a midweek “Maction” game (8 p.m. Wednesday, ESPNU, 1520 AM).

UB then hosts midweek games against Akron (4-4, 2-2) and Kent State (1-7, 0-4) before finishing up Nov. 28 at UMass (2-7, 2-3).

All of the remaining games will be televised on ESPNU or ESPN2.

“Everyone wants to play

on ESPN in the bright lights and the big moments,” Willoughby said. “That’s when we find out who the best players and the best teams are.”

••• Buffalo State’s postseason hopes took a major hit last weekend when the Bengals lost 35-25 at St. John Fisher.

The Bengals (5-3, 3-3) have lost two in a row and now trail nationally-ranked St. John Fisher by two games in the Empire 8 Conference

standings with just one conference game left to play.

Ryan Carney (Olean) caught four passes for 133 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Mike Doherty (Kenmore East) caught four passes for 87 yards. John Alessandra (Kenmore East) made a career-high 17 tackles, and Marquis Artis (Amherst) had 11 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery.

Buffalo State hosts Hartwick at noon Saturday in its home finale.

Home Free By: Lauren Kirchmyer

A cappella country music quintet Home Free visited Buffalo for the first time in March. They were touring with three other groups as part of “The Sing Off Live Tour!” after appearing on season four of NBC’s “The Sing Off,” a competition series.

Home Free, the show’s champion, was surprised to see how much appreciation of country and a cappella music there was in Western New York, causing them to want to return to the city during their “Crazy Life” national headlining tour.

“This show will be very different from our last one,” said Chris Rupp, Home Free member and creator. The show will include songs from their YouTube channel and individual songs from each person in the group, along with lighting, staging and choreography. “It’s a family-

friendly show that appeals to every demographic. And it’s not just country music, there will be some pop and oldies, too.”

Their 34-city tour kicked off Nov. 5 in Durham, N.C. In each city, the band arrives around 9 a.m. and the crew begins their loading process in the theater around noon.

Rupp said he enjoys going to the gym, answering emails and going on social media before taking the stage around 4:30 p.m. for sound check, which is followed by a 20 to 30 minute rehearsal.

In each city, the band allows VIP ticket holders to come into the theater around 5:30 p.m. “We normally have a Q&A session, sing a song we’re not doing in the show, do a private signing, give out special goodies and take pictures,” Rupp said.

The band – consisting of Rupp, his brother Adam

and their friends Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist and Tim Foust – will then head backstage to enjoy dinner and clean up before starting their show at 7:30.

When the 90-minute show, which includes an intermission, comes to an end, fans have the chance to meet Home Free and get autographs. This is also when the crew begins the tear down process, packing up all their equipment.

Around 2 a.m. the tour bus leaves and they’re on their way to the next city to repeat the process.

“Sleeping on a moving bus isn’t the easiest thing in the world,” Rupp said. He also finds it hard to eat well while on the road. “So many fans like to give us cookies and cakes.”

Being on tour makes it hard for Rupp to maintain relationships with his friends

and family, but he loves having the opportunity to meet new people everywhere he goes.

“We expose so many people to our music and what we do,” he said. “To experience that every night is rewarding and fulfilling.”

The “Crazy Life” tour will visit Buffalo on Wednesday.

Home Free will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. in the Mainstage Theater in the Center for the Arts at the University at Buffalo, North Campus. Tickets range from $27-33.

After the “Crazy Life” tour, Home Free will embark on their Christmas tour, supporting their new Christmas album, “Full of Cheer,” available at Walmart and Best Buy. “Full of Cheer” is also available on Amazon.com, iTunes and their website, www. homefreevocalband.com.
