BUFFALO, New York – The Bowling Green State University swimming and diving team took on the University at Buffalo Saturday for their last dual meet of the season. The Falcons fell 220-77.
“Today was another tough meet. Buffalo is a very good team,” BGSU coach Rickey Perkins said. “Over the last three weeks we have competed against the top two teams in the MAC and the best team in the Horizon League.
“It has been a tough stretch in our schedule, but we are in high spirits and looking forward to MAC Championships.”
