Preview: Bowling Green Falcons at Ohio Bobcats ATHENS, Ohio (Interstat) — Two teams jockeying for Mid-American Conference tournament positioning will meet Wednesday when the Bowling Green Falcons visit the Ohio Bobcats in a women’s basketball clash at the Convocation Center. Both teams enter with identical 15-win records, though Ohio (15-10) holds a slight edge in winning percentage over Bowling Green (15-12). The matchup carries added weight as a potential tiebreaker scenario, fueled by Ohio’s decisive 82-57 victory in the first meeting in Bowling Green on Jan. 21. The Falcons arrive with momentum from a 61-52 home win over Toledo on Saturday. Forward Taya Ellis was instrumental in that victory, recording a double-double with 10 points, 11 rebounds and a standout six blocked shots. Ellis, a key player to watch, has been a defensive force recently, averaging 7.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks over her last three contests. She will be central to Bowling Green’s effort to contain Ohio’s offense. The Bobcats are looking to rebound from a heartbreaking 108-105 double-overtime road loss at Akron last Wednesday. In that game, guard Bailey Tabeling exploded for a season-high 25 points. Tabeling has been Ohio’s most consistent offensive threat, averaging 14.4 points over her last five games. Her perimeter scoring duel with Bowling Green’s backcourt, led by Paige Kohler (17 points vs. Toledo) and Johnea Donahue (10 points, 7 assists vs. Toledo), will be critical. Ohio has found success at home in conference play, while Bowling Green has struggled on the road, losing four of its last five away games. The Bobcats will aim to leverage their home court and high-powered offense, which topped 100 points in its last outing. The Falcons will counter with a defense that held Toledo to 52 points, hoping to replicate that stifling performance. Wednesday’s result will significantly impact the MAC standings as both teams enter their final stretch before the conference tournament. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST.
