BUFFALO, NY—Eleven different Buffalo State (10-14/6-9) players scored as the Bengals dominated visiting Morrisville State (0-20/0-15), 65-35, on “Think Pink” Night in a SUNYAC game this evening at the Sports Arena.

Lindsay Smith (Ithaca/ Ithaca) led the Bengals, matching her career high with 20 points. Shareese Hamer (Erie, PA/ Strong Vincent) added 12 points and eight rebounds, Toya Parks (Brooklyn/ MLK) scored nine.

Sydney Pajack (Syracuse/Bishop Grimes) paced Morrisville with 14 points. Trisha Kauffman (E. Aurora/ E. Aurora) added 10 points, and Shanee Pierce (Bronx/ Aquinas) had eight points and 11 rebounds.

Buffalo State raced out to an 18-1 lead and coasted to a 34-15 halftime advantage, holding Morrisville to just 4 of 24 shooting from the field. The Bengals limited the Mustangs to just 27-percent shooting for the game, and converted 26 turnovers into 29 points.

The WBCA's "Think Pink" initiative is a global, unified effort for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The WBCA began "Think Pink" in 2007 and more than 120 schools unified for this effort and helped make the inaugural year of the WBCA's "Think Pink" a success.

The Bengals wore pink warm-ups and spectators purchased pink ribbons with the proceeds to be donated to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.

Buffalo State will close out the SUNYAC regular season at home tomorrow at 2 p.m.
