In their most recent meet, BGSU was led by Talisa Lemke who captured 18 points for the Falcons by winning both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives.Sarah Hennings also was able to come away with a win, finishing first in the 100-yard Butterfly.

Since then, the MAC rivals have competed in the Zippy Invitational, becoming two of the strongest teams in the event. Earlier this season, the Orange and Brown came away with a fourth place finish in the Zippy, while Akron took first in their own invitational. The Zips have a 4-1 overall record for the season, with a 2-0 performance in the MAC, topping Ball State and Buffalo. The dual meeting with Bowling Green will be Akron's first of two meets prior to the MAC Championships. They will take on Ohio on Feb. 1.
Preparing For Buffalo

On the season, Buffalo sits at 1-4, with an 0-2 record within the MAC, having lost to Akron and Eastern Michigan.
