And the Winner is?
Pretty much everybody during a very strong weekend for UB sports.
Let's start with The Harvey Cup..
Buffalo Wins Eighth Straight Harvey Cup - Buffalo Athletics
On a clear, crisp morning on the Tonawanda Creek the University at Buffalo rowing team won the Harvey Cup for the eighth straight year. The UB Varsity 8 boat (6:49.4) defeated Eastern Michigan (7:00.9) with relative ease to win the trophy named for former UB Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator Nan Harvey who passed away in September 2003.
The Cup was held by Eastern Michigan University, the only other MAC institution which supports rowing, from its inception in 2003 until 2006 when the Bulls first claimed the Cup. Buffalo has won every Cup since 2006 and show no signs of giving it up any time soon.
Men's Tennis got their white whale!
One thing that has eluded the Men's tennis team since joining the MAC was a win at Kalamazoo, this weekend they got that out of the way

Shah was down 4-3 in the third set when she held her serve to tie it up and then picked up a huge break, going ahead 5-4 with her serving for the match. Shah was able to put her opponent away in just under three hours, clinching the match for the Bulls.
