It was the Grand Island native that came up big on “Grand Island Night” at Alumni Arena Wednesday.
After Bowling Green missed a three-point attempt, the Falcons grabbed an offensive board for one more desperation shot to try to send the game into overtime. It was Buffalo junior center Cassie Oursler’s block on the final play that secured the women’s basketball team’s victory.
The Bulls (14-12, 6-9 Mid-American Conference) defeated Bowling Green (9-15, 5-10 MAC) 55-52 on a last-second block by Oursler, a native of Grans Island. The Bulls held a special promotion Wednesday – anyone from Grand Island could purchase a ticket for $5.
