The women's team completed the regular season on a four-game winning streak to finish with a 12-4 conference record, earning the second seed in the SUNYAC tournament. The Bengals will host seventh-seeded Oswego on Tuesday at 6 p.m. The game will mark the seventh time the two teams have met in the past two seasons. Buffalo State has won the previous six, including a 72-49 victory in the first round of last year's conference playoffs.

The men's squad earned the third seed with an 11-5 SUNYAC record despite losing its last three contests. The Bengals will welcome sixth-seeded Fredonia to the Sports Arena on Tuesday for an 8 p.m. tip-off.
