The Bowling Green State University men's basketball team hosted the Akron Zips on national TV Friday night (Jan. 9) inside the Stroh Center. The Falcons sustained a slow start, but battled back and outscored Akron 63-53 from the 11:40 mark in the first half on. The spark was led by Mayar Wol's 32 points, including 24 in just the second half as well as the team's first 17 points in the second half. In the end, Akron held on for the 77-67 final, moving BGSU to 11-6 on the season and 2-3 in the MAC after facing the conference's top five teams from the preseason poll to begin the conference slate.

FALCON STAT FACTS

Mayar Wol led the Falcons with a career-high 32 points, becoming the second Falcon in the span of a week with 30+ in a game after Javontae Campbell had 47 last Saturday (Jan. 3) against UMass. This is the third time this year Wol has had 20+ in a game.

Of his 32 points, Wol accounted for 15 from behind the arc with five three-pointers. He's the first Falcon since Dec. 22 to have five threes in a game.

Campbell was BGSU's second double-digit scorer with 12 while adding six rebounds, a team-high five assists, a team-high four steals and a block. Campbell has now led BGSU in assists in each of the last four games as well as five of the last six.

Campbell played all 40 minutes for the Falcons, his third-straight contest playing the entirety of the game for a total of 125 minutes over the three-game stretch.

Playing a season-high 34 minutes, Troy Glover II came close to a double-double for the second game, finishing with eight points and a team-high nine rebounds for the Falcons, his second consecutive game leading the team in boards.

UP NEXT

The Falcons have somewhat of a bye with their next game being over a week away due to the odd number of teams in the MAC this season. Remaining at home for their next contest, Bowling Green will host Eastern Michigan on Jan. 17 for a 1 p.m. tip inside the Stroh Center.

The League of Women Voters of Bowling Green invites the community to take part in a simple, meaningful act of service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 19, 2026.

From 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., community members are welcome to stop by Grounds for Thoughts to donate toiletries, women’s hygiene products, and baby items to support the Brown Bag Food Project, a local organization addressing food insecurity and basic needs in the Bowling Green area. Donations may be dropped off at the large meeting table inside the café and will be delivered to the Brown Bag Food Project later that afternoon.

“Dr. King reminded us that everyone can serve,” said Sharlyn Katzner, President of the League of Women Voters of Bowling Green. “This day is about showing up in ways that feel doable: bringing a few items, sharing a conversation, and remembering that caring for our neighbors strengthens the whole community.”

In addition to the donation drive, League volunteers will be available throughout the day to share voter registration information and civic engagement resources. The League believes that service and democracy are deeply connected, and that making space for both helps build a stronger, more inclusive community.

Community members are invited to stop by at any point during the day, whether to drop off donations, enjoy a cup of coffee, or learn more about how to participate in local civic life.
