Ohio women win MAC opener at BG
Ohio BobcatsBut the result returned to ‘normal’ for the Ohio University women’s basketball team in its Mid-American Conference opener at Bowling Green on Saturday.
The Bobcats (10-2, 1-0 MAC) never blew the game wide open thanks to continued ice-cold shooting, but they were never really threatened in a 69-58 win over the Falcons at the Stroh Center.
Ohio shot just 38 percent overall, and came in at under 20 percent again from 3-point range. The Bobcats, just 4 of 21 from 3, didn’t need superlative-laden offense to win however. Bowling Green (4-9, 0-1 MAC) was shackled throughout by Ohio’s defense and trailed by double-figures for the bulk of the final 3.5 quarters.
