Doty headed to Final Four

Senior standout invited to Three-Point Shootout Championships in Indianapolis on March 27
UB women's basketball star Brenna Doty has been selected as one of just eight women's players from across the country to compete in the Ninth Annual College Basketball Slam Dunk & Three-Point Shooting Championships March 27 in Indianapolis' Market Square Arena. It will be broadcast live on ESPN with Dick Vitale and Brad Nessler hosting.

Doty is currently leading the nation in three-point field goals per game (3.54 per game) and was ranked second in three-point field goal accuracy last week by the NCAA.

Doty also has a chance to fulfill her dream of leading her Royal teammates to the NCAA Tournament when UB hosts the Mid-Continent Conference Women's Basketball Tournament on March 6-8 in Alumni Arena. The Royals enter the tournament with a 21-5 record, and have 20 or more games for the fourth straight season.

"Of course our ultimate goal, as well as Brenna's, is to get to the NCAA Tournament as a team," said UB coach Sal Buscaglia, who sports a 136-60 record at UB, "but for Brenna to receive this kind of recognition says a great deal about her talents as a player and the recognition nationally that our program is receiving.

"I couldn't be happier that Brenna is getting a chance to shine on the national stage," Buscaglia said. "She has been a cornerstone of the success that UB Royals basketball has achieved in the last four years."

Doty has started and played in all 115 games of her UB career and has led the Royals to an 84-31 record during that time. She is the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,672 points and holds 13 school records.
