Senior Haley Puk and the Bowling Green State University women's basketball team broke out to an early lead, and the Falcons withstood a furious comeback effort by host Robert Morris University Thursday morning (Nov. 16). BGSU picked up a 64-62 win in overtime in non-conference action at the North Athletic Complex.
With the win, the Falcons move to 3-0 on the young season. The Colonels, the two-time defending Northeast Conference champions, drop to 0-2.
Puk exploded for a career-high 26 points in the win. Her previous career-best scoring total was 14, and she had surpassed that by halftime on Thursday, with 17 points in the game's first 20 minutes.
