LEXINGTON, Ky. ? The No. 19 Kentucky Wildcats (8-7 overall, 1-5 SEC) head to Bowling Green, Ohio for the team?s last regular season meet. UK will face the No. 51 Bowling Green Falcons (7-3, 3-3 MAC) on Saturday March 22 at 4 p.m. ET in Anderson Arena.

Kentucky has most recently jumped 14 spots in the national rankings, from No. 33 to 19, and achieved the highest regional qualifying score (RQS) in school history, 195.275. The Cats are also ranked in the top 20 on three events, vault at No. 17, balance beam at No. 20, and floor exercise at No. 10. A high score from Kentucky at BGSU could bump the Cats into the top 18 which would allow them to be seeded for NCAA Regionals.

Two UK gymnasts are ranked in the top 20. Sophomores Emily Green and Hillary Ferguson hold the No. 15 spot on vault and the No. 18 position on floor, respectively. Green hit a career-high vault mark of 9.925 at the Texas Woman?s University Quad Meet on March 14, followed by a 9.900 on March 16 at Centenary. Ferguson has nailed four scores of 9.900 or better on floor this season with a career high of 9.925 earned twice, first at Georgia and second at home against Arizona and Western Michigan.

Last weekend the Cats competed at Texas Woman?s in a quad meet with Centenary and Utah State, and then traveled to Shreveport, La. to meet with Centenary again. In those two meets, UK hit four season highs of 195.975 overall, two 49.125?s on vault, 49.100 on bars, and 49.325 on floor. After the weekend, Kentucky walked away with 10 total titles earned by six different gymnasts.

The Cats last saw Bowling Green at the 2007 Texas Woman?s Quad meet, where UK achieved a season high of 196.200, also the third highest score in Kentucky history. The Falcons hosted a tri-meet in Anderson Arena with Northern Illinois and Eastern Michigan. BGSU fell to the conference rivals, 193.625-193.500-193.125, the team?s second-highest score of the season.

Kentucky?s regular season will be concluded at Bowling Green State on Saturday March 22 at 4 p.m. ET. Post season action for the Cats will begin at the SEC Championship in Duluth, Ga. on Saturday March 29 at the Arena at Gwinnett Center.
