WOMEN
Bowling Green at Ohio
Time: 7 p.m.
Records: BGSU is 22-4, 12-1 MAC; OU is 12-15, 5-8
Radio: 88.1 FM
Series: BGSU leads 51-20
Notes: The Falcons can clinch the MAC East Division title outright with a win over the Bobcats. That would mark BG's eighth consecutive division title and 13th MAC title overall, more than any other league school. … Bowling Green also looks to claim its ninth consecutive win over Ohio. The Falcons have won the last seven meetings at the Convocation Center and haven't lost there since March 2, 2002. … In the first meeting of these two schools, BG claimed a 61-49 win behind 18 points from Chrissy Steffen and a 15-point, 11-rebound effort from Alexis Rogers. … Ohio senior Tenishia Benson leads the Bobcats in both scoring (14.6) and rebounding (6.7). … BG's defense has held its last five opponents under their season scoring average, as well as eight of the last nine. The only team that surpassed its scoring average needed overtime to turn that trick. … The Falcons have won their last 14 games against MAC East opponents. … Although Steffen leads BG in scoring (13.9), she has topped the team in that category just once since the last Ohio meeting. She has reached double figures in eight of those 10 games, though.
