BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University men's basketball team earned an 88-66 victory over Fairmont State University on Friday (Nov. 15) morning at the Stroh Center. The contest was the program's School Day Game. Approximately 2,000 students from area schools were in attendance, making up a crowd of 3,312.
The Falcons move to 3-1 on the campaign with the victory. Bowling Green is now 2-0 inside the Stroh Center in 2019-20. Fairmont State entered the contest with a 2-0 record, but being that the Fighting Falcons are a Division II school, today's game served as an exhibition for FSU.
A total of 14 Falcons saw action during the ballgame, and 11 entered the scoring column. Redshirt-junior guard Justin Turner led all scorers with 16 points. Junior forward Trey Diggs (11), sophomore guard Caleb Fields (10) and senior guard Dylan Frye (10) also scored in double figures for the Orange and Brown.
QUOTE OF THE GAME
"We played hard, so that was the first thing that I was most impressed by with our guys. They were able to play hard. Fairmont State did a good job of making it difficult for us by mixing up their defenses. We were able to execute and finally settle down." – Head Coach Michael Huger
