History
[edit]The University at Buffalo softball program was established in 1979, originally competing at the Division III level. The University discontinued the program in 1987. On November 3, 1998, the University announced the reinstatement of the softball program, as mandated by the Mid-American Conference. Marie Curran was named head coach on May 6, 1999. The Bulls opened their first Division I softball season on March 3, 2000, as an Independent school, sweeping St. Michael's College in Orlando, Florida. In 2001, the Bulls became a full-fledged member of the MAC. Marie Curran was relieved of her duties after nine seasons, and was replaced by Jennifer Teague on July 15, 2008. Teague coached the team for five seasons before being relieved of her duties on May 30, 2013. On July 12 of the same year, Buffalo named former LSU All-American Trena Peel as their new head coach.[4]
