How it happened
- After taking down the SUNY Oneonta Red Dragons last night, the Bengals returned to Sports Arena to host the SUNY Delhi Broncos for Senior Day.
- The Bengals opened the first set in familiar fashion this season, storming out on the Broncos behind a four-point run and a six-point run. Those spurts propelled the Bengals past the Broncos, and they used another four-point run to claim the first set.
- The second set followed a similar script, as the Bengals outplayed the Broncos throughout, using a 10-point run to take the set with their eyes on a sweep.
- In the final set, the Bengals jumped out quickly once again, using a five-point run to hold the lead late into the set. The Broncos responded with a four-point rally and capitalized on Buffalo State errors to create a tight finish, but the Bengals returned to strong play to close out the Broncos and secure a Senior Day win. The victory also officially clinched Buffalo State's spot in the SUNYAC playoffs, with final seeding to be determined in its remaining SUNYAC matchups.
For the foes
- Skyler Furtado and Nevelle Taylor each finished with seven kills, with Peyton Bruce leading the Broncos with 15 assists.
- Defensively, Taylor also led Delhi with six digs.
