BGSU battles Wolverines in Ann Arbor for the second time this season
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Bowling Green State University women's soccer team will make its fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Division I Tournament as the Falcons will face the University of Michigan at U-M Soccer Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The date and time of the match will be announced in the coming days. First-round matches are to be played on Friday, Saturday or Sunday (Nov. 12-14).
According to Michigan's athletics web site, MGoBlue.com, tickets will go on sale at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday (Nov. 9), and may be purchased online at MGoBlue.com/tickets, by phone (734-764-0247 or 1-866-296-6849) or in person at the U-M Ticket Office (1000 S. State St.).

The 2021 season will mark BGSU's sixth NCAA Championships appearance. The Falcons made trips to the national tournament  in 2004 and '05, prior to the program's current four-year run.
BGSU won both the Mid-American Conference regular season and tournament titles, and the Falcons are 11-6-3 on the season. BG went 8-2-1 in league regular-season play, capturing the conference regular-season crown and earning the right to host the MAC Tournament.
Â
The Falcons picked up a pair of shutout wins in league tourney play, with a 1-0 win over Buffalo on Thursday (Nov. 4) and a 3-0 triumph vs. Kent State on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 7).
Michigan, 15-3-3 overall, earned a number-two seed in their region (a top-eight seed overall) after winning the Big Ten Tournament title for the first time since 1999.
The Wolverines own a 4-0-0 lead in the all-time series, including a 2-1 victory earlier this season. In that match, back on Aug. 22, Lacee Bethea scored less than a minute into the match, but U-M equalized on an own goal 11 minutes later before Nicki Hernandez scored in the 75th minute.
It marked the second-straight match in which U-M had come from behind for a 2-1 victory over the Orange and Brown. The first came in the NCAA Championships on Nov. 15, 2019, Chelsee Washington scored late in the first half for the Falcons, but a pair of U-M goals – including a Hernandez marker in the 79th minute – gave the hosts the victory.
BGSU and U-M met in August of 2014 and in September of '19 in Ann Arbor as well, with the Wolverines posting 2-0 wins in each case. The latter contest was scoreless through 79 minutes until the Wolverines scored twice in a two-minute span.
