February 03, 2010 | Women's Swimming & Diving
Bowling Green, Ohio—The Bowling Green State University women's swim team will close the 2009-10 regular season with a Friday meet against the Zips in Akron, Ohio. The meet is set to kick off at 5 p.m. at Ocasek Natatorium.
Friday's meet against the Zips will also be senior Meg Richardson's last regular season MAC meet of her collegiate career.
The Falcons and the Zips will enter Friday's meet with an equal 1-5 record in Mid-American Conference
competition.
Scouting the Zips
With a 1-5 record in the MAC, the Zips will also be fighting to improve their record one final time this season before the MAC Championship kicks off at the end of the month. The Zips have been defeated by Ohio, Miami (Ohio), Eastern Michigan, Buffalo and Toledo. Their sole MAC win came in a meet against Ball State in November.
At their own invitational, the Zippy Invitational, the Zips finished third out of 13 teams. At the invitational, Akron overcame Illinois State University, Duquesne, Clarion, Xavier, Shippensburg, Bloomsburg, St. Bonaventure, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Niagara and Cleveland State. The only two teams to out swim the Zips at the Zippy Invitational were MAC foes, Ohio and Buffalo.
At the 2009 MAC Championships, the Zips took fifth place for a total of 347 points.
