BG Rolls on with two Ties and SENIOR DAY


This past weekend the BG Women's Soccer team tied two games, adding an additional 2 points to their name in the MAC tournament standings. The team currently sits in Second place in the MAC West division, tied with Ohio.


On Friday, the team took on visiting Akron in what proved to be another interesting MAC game. The good guys (us of course!) were up on Akron 2-1 going in to half time, but the Zips would find the equalizer mid-way through the second half. Two sudden-death overtime periods could not break the tie and the game ended in a stalemate, despite another good showing by BGSU. Goal scorers for BG were Megan Amann and Madeline Wideman (Z, Wideman, and Katie Stephenson helped out with assists.)


On Sunday, the team battled a fired up Ohio team in another double over time frenzy, again ending in a tie. The team pitched a great defensive effort and shutout in the 0-0 deadlock.


Also on the day, the program celebrated the careers of our four seniors--Alicia Almond, Katie Stephenson, Jackie Tamerlano, and Alexa Arsenault. This group has been tremendously impactful to the program during their time and they have truly left their mark in the most positive of ways. They will be sorely missed.....BUT they still have a lot of work to do because there are great things ahead for us as we move toward MAC tournament time! Check back for some great videos of Senior Day festivities. Picture: The four seniors in traditional Senior Day attire.


The Team next travels to Western Michigan this Friday, Oct 22 and to Northern Illinois Oct 24 for more MAC regular season action.
