BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green State University played as close to a win as they could, but Akron escaped the Stroh Center with a last-second bucket from Jordyn Dawson and a 72-70 victory over the Falcons in Mid-American Conference play on Wednesday inside the Stroh Center.
Akron ran a play for reserve guard Rachel Martindale, and she launched a 3 from the left wing. It clanked off of the left side of the rim and fell into Dawson’s lap for the wide-open put-back with 1.2 seconds remaining. A half-court heave at the buzzer from Bowling Green’s Nyla Hampton banked off the glass, left of the rim.
