BGSU women's basketball defended a second half surge from Western Michigan and pulled away with a 72-63 victory, the first Mid-American Conference win for the team this season.
Coming into the matchup with Western Michigan, BGSU were losers of five straight and seven of their last eight. On the bright side, four of those losses either went to an extra stanza of action or were decided by one possession.
Yet to claim their first conference victory, their streaky but strong non-conference games seem like ways away from where they stand now.
On Wednesday night the Falcons relied on Mari Hill early.
