In their lone home weeknight match, Bowling Green welcomes Miami (OH) on Oct. 19, for a 6 p.m. match.

In the final home matches of the regular season, the Falcons host Akron on Nov. 4-5. BGSU travels to Buffalo for contests on Nov. 11-12, then closes the regular season with another Wednesday (Nov. 16) tilt with Miami (OH), this time played in Oxford.
The 2022 MAC Tournament is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 20-22, with official dates, times and locations to be announced later.
“One of our goals for the program is to become one of the top 25 volleyball programs in the nation,” said head coach Danijela Tomic. “With that goal in mind, it is essential for us to challenge ourselves and play great competition in the first four weeks of our season. We have done that again this year with our non-conference schedule, and the next step is to have a winning record going into the MAC season. We are incredibly excited about hosting the Falcon Invitational at the Stroh Center, which will bring three great programs to Bowling Green. Six matches over three days in Stroh will be a treat for all volleyball fans to enjoy. It will also allow us to introduce our talented 2022 team, which will have a great mix of experience, youth and depth.”
The Falcons finished 21-9 overall last season, with a 16-2 mark in conference play. BGSU won the MAC East regular season title and finished 10-0 at home, the program’s first undefeated home season since 1979.
Last week, Hanna Laube, Katelyn Meyer, and Julia Walz announced their plans to return and utilize their fifth year of eligibility.
