Ohio is preparing for what may be its toughest match so far this season. After sweeping Buffalo in both of its matches last week, Ohio will travel to Bowling Green to take on the undefeated Falcons. The Falcons swept Ball State in their last series and have swept six of their eight matches this season. Ohio will have to bring its high energy and solid communication to Stroh Center in order to be able to get a pair of wins this week.
Notable players to watch include Ohio defensive specialist/libero Sam Steele, who has just won her third MAC East Defensive Player of the Week award this season. On the other side of the net, watch for Bowling Green outside hitter Katelyn Meyer, who already has 122 kills this season.
