Avon, Ohio - The Bowling Green Men's Rugby team (2-0 Overall, 1-0 MAC) will play their home opener this Saturday, September 20th, against Ohio State (0-1 Overall) over Homecoming Weekend. The match will be played at Roger Mazzarella Rugby Field.
Â
"Ohio University is a good opportunity for us to correct those mistakes from the past weekend. We won't have to travel as far as going to Avon and we have a lot of guys from the Cleveland area so this is pretty much a Home game," said Center Owen Slimmer. "I believe that we will get everything right in these next few weeks. Tune everything up and get the ship back on course."

Last Time on the Field
The Falcons once again took all three matches on the chin last Saturday: two from Louisville and one from Hillsdale. The Falcons lost 41-17 to Hillsdale followed by 32-22 and 22-5 against Louisville. The First Side lost 32-22 in what was a barn burner seeing the lead change five times. The game looked to be heading to a 22-22 tie, a BGSU intercepted pass and a fumbled ball gave the Cardinal two quick scores in the last three minutes of the game to seal out a loss for the Falcons.
