UB women’s basketball hopes to add athleticism with 2016 recruiting class

With just one player on its roster graduating, the Buffalo women’s basketball team was already in a great position to defend its Mid-American Conference Championship crown.

It may have just gotten better too.

The Bulls bring in three players for next season – one transfer and two high school seniors. University of Massachusetts guard Cierra Dillard joins high school seniors Theresa Onwuka and Summer Hemphill for the recruiting class.

Head coach Felisha Legette-Jack said the new recruits bring another dimension to the roster that was lacking at times last season: athleticism.

“The first word that jumps out is athletic,” Legette-Jack said.
