BG earns first Conference Point over the Weekend

The BG Women's Soccer team played two games on the road this weekend. The team earned a point toward MAC play with a 1-1 draw with Northern Illinois. Alyssa Zuccaro scored the equalizer against NIU (with help from fellow teammate Megan Amann) less then 2 minutes after the team went down 1-0 to the Huskies. The game ended in a 1-1 draw after two overtime periods, despite some great opportunities for the Falcons to score the game winner.

The team looked to earn three points against Sunday's opponent, Western Michigan, but suffered a heart-breaking 3-2 loss with the Broncos scoring the deciding goal with only 54 seconds remaining in the match. On the day, two different falcons found the back of the net. Freshman Sarah VonderBrink scored her first goal of the season, on an assist from Alyssa Zuccaro, and Sophomore Katelyn Turner rounded out the scoring on a Free Kick service from Colleen Kordan.

The Falcons will now travel to Ball State (Friday) and Miami (Sunday) for the second week of nail biting MAC play. Check back in to see how we do!
