ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are set for their only non-conference midweek match at Bowling Green. First serve is scheduled for Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. ET.
The Golden Grizzlies fell in all three matches last weekend for the annual Golden Grizzlies Invitational at home. Despite the losses, OU has shown resilience and have forced four sets in each of their last five matches. Oakland averaged 50 kills and 52 digs a match over the weekend, as opposite hitter Ella Schomer led the Golden Grizzlies with 30 kills individually and operated with an error-free .391 hitting clip against Southern Illinois Friday.
Setter Delaney Stern surpassed her 500th career assist in Oakland's Friday evening match against Xavier. The sophomore from Johnsburg, Ill. averages 4.81 assists a set and is on track to make Oakland's top-10 list in the category.

SCOUTING THE FALCONS
A local opponent just down I-75, the Falcons and Golden Grizzlies have met 22 times in their history, BGSU leading the series at 16-6. Bowling Green has taken the last two matches, as OU's last win over BGSU came in 2018 inside the Stroh Center.
Bowling Green has posted a 4-5 record through three weekends under new head coach Alex DelPiombo, who was a longtime assistant under head coach Danijela TomiĆ. A big competitor in the MAC, the Falcons have been selected as regular season and tournament champions in the 2025 coaches' preseason poll.
