Boxscore (,pdf)
Corey Domek posted 17 kills and 10 digs for her fourth career double-double and Shari Luther added 12 kills and three blocks, but Bowling Green was unable to shut down Miami's offense as the match wore on.
The RedHawks had 10 attack errors in the first set but just 11 over the final three sets combined. Miami hit .000 in the opening set but improved to .320 and .312 in the next two and then an eye-popping .625 in the fourth, picking up 16 kills on 24 swings with just one error.
Bowling Green, on the other hand, hit a respectable .241 in the first and then did not reach the .200 mark again until the fourth set when the Falcons hit .320, but that was not enough to overcome Miami's rhythm.
Bowling Green did have two more aces than Miami and added 8.0 team blocks, but the RedHawks had nine more digs than the Falcons and posted 11.0 team blocks.
Miami built a 12-10 lead in the opening set but Bowling Green bounced back with a 7-1 run sparked by three Luther kills. That stretch gave the Falcons the cushion they needed and the RedHawks never got closer than three point the rest of the way.
Bowling Green was never able to regain that momentum and Miami led most of the way in each of the final three sets.
Miami improves to 15-10 overall and 10-3 in MAC play with the win, while Bowling Green falls to 10-18 overall and 3-10 in league play. The Falcons finish the season with three consecutive home games beginning with a 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon match against Northern Illinois.
