The Bowling Green State University gymnastics team fell to Kent State 196.400-193.525 on Sunday afternoon. The Mid-American Conference meet was held in Kent, Ohio inside the M.A.C. Center.

The Falcons bounced back with a 48.475 on vault, helped by Ali and Wishart's 9.800s. The duo finished in a tie for fourth.

BGSU, who leads the conference in floor scoring, continued to show why, finishing with a 48.750 as a team. Ali was fifth with a 9.825, followed by Megan Harrington and Wishart, both scoring 9.750's to tie for seventh.

In rotation four the Falcons wrapped up the meet, scoring a season-best 48.350 on beam. Ali was third (9.800) and Locigno was seventh (9.700).
