BOWLING GREEN — The inherent fun of a 64-team tournament lies with the underdogs.
With 63 games to decide a champion, it becomes an inevitability that at least a few teams will defy conventional wisdom and win a game they were not supposed to win.
Bowling Green would like to become one of them on Friday night.
The BGSU women’s soccer team opens the NCAA tournament at No. 15 Penn State, one of the top programs in the country. BG is a sizable underdog against the Nittany Lions, who almost never lose this early in the tournament, sporting a 19-1 record in the NCAA first round since 1998.
