September 22, 2022 | Women's Swimming & Diving
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green women's swim and dive program have announced the schedule for the 2022-23 season.
The Falcons begin the season on the road in Akron at the Zippy Classic on October 7th-8th. The Falcons then return home to the Cooper Pool for three straight meets against Butler University (October 28th), MAC rival Ball State (October 29th), and then against Marshall (November 4th) for the last home meet of the fall season where the Orange and Brown will be celebrating their Senior Day.
November 5th brings a trip to I-75 rival Toledo for a tri-meet with Marshall and Toledo. Last year the Falcons swam to a victory on Senior Day in the Cooper Pool against the rival Rockets. A few weeks later the Falcons completed a season sweep of Toledo in the Glass City. The Falcons were led by swimmer Taylor Harris who swam to a first-place finish and a second-place finish in both the 100 and 200 Breaststroke events across the two meets.
The first half of the season then concludes with a trip to in-state MAC foe Miami University for the Miami Invite (December 1st-3rd).
For the second straight season the winter half of the Orange and Brown's divers starts at the Buffalo Diving Invite (January 13th-14th). Last year the Falcons snagged five of twelve spots in the 1-Meter Dive led by Julia Januszewska with a score of 245.15. Day two brought another strong performance led by divers Grace Ellis (248.35, 6th place) and Sarah Butt (229.05, 10th place) in the 3-Meter Dive.
The swimmers then return to Cooper Pool against Akron on January 14th for the only home meet of the winter. The next weekend then sends the Falcons north to take on Oakland University on January 20th before heading to Buffalo the next weekend on the 28th.
The Falcons close out their regular season in a familiar place with the Miami Last Chance Meet in Oxford, Ohio (February 10th-11th). This will be the Falcons last meet before MAC Championships where they will return to Oxford, Ohio for four more days.
MAC Championships begin on February 22nd and run through the 25th. The Falcons are returning multiple point getters from MAC Championships at the Cooper Pool from a season ago. Divers Rayah Blood and Grace Ellis who respectively finished 4th in the 3-Meter Dive and 7th in the 1-Meter Dive return and look to improve on strong finishes to the 2021-22 season. Swimmers Ava Vial (4th 400 IM), Taylor Harris (7th 100 Breaststroke), and Fabiana D'Ambrogio (8th 200 Butterfly) all look to add more times to the Falcon record books in their respective events after a strong showing at MAC Championships last season.
March brings the end of Falcons' season with the National Invite Championships in Elkhart, Indiana taking place on March 9th through the 11th. Then the NCAA diving zones occurring on the 9th-11th as well. Finally, the NCAA National Championships will take place at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville the following week from the 15th through the 18th.
