BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University volleyball team, coming off their first weekend sweep of the season, travel to the state of Michigan to face Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan this weekend (Oct. 24-25). Following the trip up north, the Falcons travel to Ohio and Marshall the following weekend, for their longest road trip of the season.
The Brown & Orange are coming off back-to-back Mid-American Conference wins over Toledo and Northern Illinois this past weekend. The four-game win over the Rockets gave BGSU their first season sweep over UT since 1999. The Falcons ended a three game losing streak to the Huskies with a four-set victory last Saturday night.
A LOOK AT THE OPPONENTS
Eastern Michigan (16-4, 4-3 MAC) have dropped their last three matches, all to MAC foes. EMU dropped five-game matches to Akron and Central Michigan and a four-setter to Ohio. BGSU owns a 25-16 series lead over the Eagles, after dropping a four-set match to EMU last season at Anderson Arena.
Central Michigan (10-11, 4-4 MAC) is coming off two five-set wins versus Eastern Michigan and Marshall over the past week, and have won four of their last five matches. BGSU owns a 19-18 series lead over the Chippewas, after dropping a four-set match to the Chips earlier this season at Anderson Arena.
After the four-game road trip, the Falcons will return home for three matches, when they host Miami, Ball State and Akron.
