Velasco's career-high scoring output a bright spot for BGSU women

MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State University’s defensive pressure made nearly everything a challenge offensively for Bowling Green State University’s women’s basketball team on Saturday.

But there was certainly a bright spot that can be beneficial for the Falcons going forward.

Amy Velasco had the best scoring output of her solid BGSU career by a wide margin after scoring 28 points in the Falcons’ 76-61 Mid-American Conference loss to the Cardinals. The 5-foot-7 junior guard made a career-high 10 field goals, including three 3-pointers, while tying a career high with 15 field-goal attempts.

With a stellar Ball State squad shutting down key scorers, making passing lanes difficult, and forcing the Falcons to earn every point — the rest of BGSU’s team was 8 of 32 shooting — Velasco shined throughout the entire game.
