The Buffalo State Mock Trial "A" team won the second annual Friar Faceoff, held at St. Bonaventure University on November 16 and 17, with a 7-1 win-loss record. This is the first time in the Mock Trial program's seven-year history that a Buffalo State team has won a sanctioned tournament. In addition, this is the first time Buffalo State has entered two teams in a tournament. Five students from these teams won individual awards: Kate Marinelli, Marco Santiago, and Alexis Childs for best attorney awards, and Michelle Imafidon and Cynthia Duncan for best witness awards. Seventeen students gave up their weekend to compete in this tournament, including nine who have never before competed in a Mock Trial tournament, and they are a credit to this college and to the Mock Trial program.
