One week after being physically assaulted following a speech at San Francisco State University to students about saving women's sports at a Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute event on the campus, former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines gave another speech Thursday night in defense of women’s sports at the University of Buffalo.

While the speech itself went off without a hitch, University of Buffalo police arrested a 22-year-old suspect outside the venue, citing harassment and disorderly conduct.
