ATHENS, Ohio - Angie Farmer scored 21 of her career-high 24 points in the second half as the Falcons recorded a five-point road win.
In the first half, the host Bobcats led by 11 points, 18-7, with 13:23 left. BGSU, however, rallied to take a one-point lead into halftime. The Falcons closed the half with a 10-1 run over the final 6:19.
In the second half, BGSU took the lead for good at the 10-minute mark when Farmer made a jumper to make the score 53-51. That shot came after Farmer had hit three-point shots on three successive trips down the floor. Farmer scored 11-straight BG points in a span of 1:20, including the three treys in a 50-second time frame.
Ohio pulled within one point three times, but could never even the score down the stretch. The Bobcats trailed by two points with four minutes left before Francine Miller scored four-straight points to give BGSU a 70-64 advantage with 2:32 remaining. The Bobcats kept clawing back, though, and got within one point after a pair of Lisa Hindenlang free throws with 45.2 seconds left.
The Falcons worked the shot clock down on the ensuing possession, and a Farmer running jumper with 16.2 seconds remaining gave BG a three-point lead at 77-74.
Ohio's Cathy Szall missed a potential game-tying three-pointer with five seconds left. Karen Stocz grabbed the rebound, was fouled and swished two free throws with 4.3 seconds left to clinch the win.
