SERIES HISTORY

Ohio boasts a strong number of upperclassmen with 10, outweighing Buffalo’s four. An older, more experienced roster gives the Bobcats an edge along with home court advantage. Key players to watch out for are Ohio’s Sam Steele and Tia Jimerson as well as Buffalo’s Emma Gielas and Abby Leigh.
