Four Falcons combined to win five of 14 individual events, as the Bowling Green swimming and diving team fell to Ohio on Saturday afternoon (Jan. 27). .The Bobcats won the dual meet 169.5-130.5. BGSU swimmers were competing for the first time since the Zippy Invitational in early December and won three races while taking second place in six. Meanwhile, the divers continued to build on the success they enjoyed at the Buffalo Diving Invitational. Talisa Lemke swept the two diving events, and second place in both was split between Claire Stam and Ashley White. Individual Falcons set four new personal records, as well as a separate season-best time.
Lemke earned the sixth diving sweep of her sophomore season. She captured the one-meter title with a 299.63, outpacing the closest Ohio diver by 67 points. In the three-meter competition, she tallied a 320.63, which was 70 points better than the nearest Bobcat. Ashley White finished second in the three-meter (253.50) and third in the one-meter (235.88), while Claire Stam‘s 248.93 earned second in the three-meter. The trio of divers earned 31 of BGSU’s 130.5 points during the meet.
BGSU swimmers earned their first of three victories of the day during the 200 butterfly. Sarah Hennings finished in 2:04.27 and won by 1.91 seconds. It was her sixth overall victory of the season and third in this event out of seven starts. Later, the Falcons secured the top three spots in the 200 backstroke. Franziska Wohlert touched after 2:05.04 for her third win of the season. Teammates Lauren Sullivanand Maria Galic took second and third, respectively.

Bowling Green ended the meet with 20 individual top-three finishes. Falcon relay teams took second and third place in both the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays.
COACH SAYS…
BGSU Swimming and Diving head coach Matt Ense said, “We ran into a team that wanted to win more than us today. It was their Senior Day so they wanted to protect their house, and they came out and won the first five races of the day. This was our first time competing in seven weeks, so it took the first part of the meet to get back to racing mode. We finished the meet strong which is a positive heading into next week against Toledo. Our divers once again did an amazing job taking the top three spots on one meter and top two spots on three meter.”
