Freshman Elissa Brett had nine points, while fourth-year Falcons Clare Glowniak and Caterrion Thompson had eight apiece. Glowniak was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field.

TICKETS FOR REMAINING HOME GAMES
The game featured six ties and seven lead changes, nearly all of which came in the second half. UB rallied from an early double-digit deficit to tie the game at the half. The Bulls scored the first four points of the third quarter, before BG scored five-straight points to briefly retake the lead.
That lead changed hands several more times in the period, including when Brett hit a pair of free throws in the final seconds of the period for a 47-46 BG advantage after 30 minutes.
The visitors got a fast-break bucket from Fair early in the fourth quarter, but BG tied the contest on a Parker triple midway through the period. And, Parker answered a UB basket with a pull-up jumper that tied the score, 54-54, with 4:50 to go. But, Fair scored a pair of hoops to give the visitors the lead for good.
UB had a 44-18 advantage in points in the paint and a 12-0 lead in fast-break points. But, the Falcons made 10 three-pointers and shot 45.5% from the arc (10-for-22), while the Bulls were just 2-for-13 (15.4%) from downtown.
FIRST QUARTER
• The Falcons burst out to an early double-digit lead. Parker took a pass from Brett and knocked down a three-pointer on the first possession of the game. And, after the Bulls scored to make it a one-point game, Brett fed junior Angela Perry for a layup with the shot clock winding down.
• That Perry bucket began a 14-0 run for the hosts. Sophomore Kadie Hempfling spotted Parker for another three-pointer after a Brett offensive rebound, and junior Mari Hill's pass resulted in a Hempfling three and a Buffalo timeout.
• The timeout did not slow the Falcons, as soph Morgan McMillen hit back-to-back triples for a 17-2 lead midway through the quarter.
• The visitors forged back, scoring eight-straight points before Thompson hit a pull-up jumper in the final minute of the period.
• BGSU went 5-for-9 from the arc in the opening quarter, taking a 19-12 lead after 10 minutes.
SECOND QUARTER
• Glowniak posted up and scored – on a possession that she kept alive with an offensive board – to give the Falcons a 21-12 lead, and moments later, Brett's three-ball with the shot clock nearing zero put BG up by 10 points.
• But, once again, the visitors battled back, as Fair hit a driving layup, then a transition three-pointer that cut the BG lead to 25-24. Perry answered with a turnaround banker, and Brett's driving layup restored the Falcons' three-point advantage, but the Bulls got a triple from Aireal Dickson in the final minute of the period, tying the game at 29-29 at the half.
THIRD QUARTER
• UB scored the first four points of the quarter, but a Perry bucket was followed by a Thompson triple that gave the Falcons a 34-33 lead. Moments later, another Thompson trey put the home team ahead, 37-35.
• After the Bulls tied the score, Glowniak knocked down a foul-line jumper, but the visitors scored seven of the game's next eight points, with Onwuka's layup giving UB a 44-40 lead.
• Back battled the Brown and Orange, as Glowniak scored inside and Brett found Parker for a triple in the final minute of the period. BG got a defensive stop, and Brett was fouled with 3.9 seconds on the clock. The freshman hit two charity tosses to put the hosts ahead, 47-46.
FOURTH QUARTER
• Fair opened the fourth-period scoring with a transition layup, and Onwuka's pull-up J made it a 50-47 UB lead. Glowniak answered with a bucket, and when Parker scored from the arc yet again, the game was tied at 52-all.
• Onwuka scored again, however, and after Parker's pull-up jumper tied the score once again, Fair's back-to-back buckets gave UB the lead for good.
• After the second bucket, midway through the quarter, neither team scored for over three minutes. Brett broke the scoreless drought after BG got a stop, blowing by everyone for a layup when no defender picked her up.
• The Falcons got another stop, but a BG shot was off the mark with just under a minute to go. BG held UB again, but after a Falcon timeout , a steal by the Bulls resulted in a layup by Fair and a four-point lead with 15.9 seconds to go. A pair of late free throws closed the scoring.
UP NEXT
• The Falcons continue a three-game homestand this week, as BG hosts Ohio on Wednesday night (Feb. 26). Tipoff is set for 7:00 p.m. at the Stroh, and it will be the team's Pink Game, with fans encouraged to wear pink.
• Then, the Orange and Brown will wrap up the February portion of the schedule by hosting Kent State next Saturday afternoon (Feb. 29).
