ATHENS, Ohio – The Bowling Green women's swim and dive team suffered its first loss of the season Friday, falling 244-56 to Ohio in a Mid-American Conference dual at the Ohio University Aquatic Center.
Natalia Mayorga led the Falcons in diving, placing second on the 3-meter board (275.18) and third on the 1-meter (246.45).
In the pool, Caroline Toledo paced Bowling Green with a second-place finish in the 1,000-yard freestyle (10:31.11).

"Today was a rough one for us, but OU is a top program in the MAC," Bowling Green Head Coach Tanner Barton. "They'll rival Akron for the championship. Tomorrow is a new day and we're off to WV!"
Bowling Green continues its road trip Saturday with a double dual against Marshall and Duquesne at 11 a.m. at the Frederick A. Finch Natatorium in Huntington, W.Va.
