BG Rallies to top ISU, Richards gets #100


This past Sunday the BGSU Women's Soccer team came from behind twice to earn a victory over Indiana State in the team's final non-conference game. Alyssa Zuccaro netted twice for the Falcons, and Sarah Vonderbrink scored her 2nd game winner in a week to put the Falcons on top with a 3-2 win. The victory also marked Head Coach Andy Richard's 100th Career win, a tremendous coaching milestone. CONGRATULATIONS ANDY!
The Sycamores scored the first goal of the day on a wonderful finish by Alison Gasparovich, but the Falcons would even things up a mere 4 minutes later on Z's first goal of the day (credit to Alicia Almond for the assist). The game went into half-time in a 1-1 deadlock, with each team trading chances on goal throughout the remainder of the first half.
ISU again opened up the scoring and went ahead for the second time in the match for a 2-1 lead over the Falcons. The lead was again fairly short-lived for the home team as Z notched her second goal just under 10 minutes later to tie the game up once again. This time, however, the momentum would stay with the Falcons as Sara Vonderbrink found the game winner with a composed finish following a great pass from teammate Maddie Wideman.
With the Win, the Falcon's broke a 6 game winning streak for the Indiana State Sycamores.
The Falcon's will now begin Mid American Conference play opening up against Buffalo on Friday at 4:00pm and Kent State on Sunday at 2:00pm. Both games will be played at home, at Mickey Cochrane Stadium, home of the FALCONS!
