BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -
Bounce Back
Bowling Green looks to rebound from a pair of road defeats suffered last weekend (Oct. 28-29) against #21 Ohio and Kent State. The Falcons will head to Miami Thursday night and then travel to Western Michigan two days later on Nov. 5.
The 15-8 RedHawks stand two games above the Falcons in the MAC East Standings with an 8-4 conference record. Megan Clark guides the Miami offense with her 11.59 assist per game while Suzy Wolford's 4.51 digs/game paces the RedHawks defensively. Miami is coming off a near upset over #21 Ohio, losing 15-10 in game five.
Winning six of their last seven matches, Western Michigan looks to stay hot Saturday night. Shaylen Jackson is hitting .358 with 4.37 kills/game and 1.44 blocks/game for the Broncos this season. Katy Duffy is excellent defensively, averaging over five digs per game.
