BG scores 4 goals, Come Away empty Handed

This past weekend the BGSU Women's Soccer team suffered two tough losses. On Friday, the team traveled to Eastern Michigan and contributed to an offensive spectacle in a match that saw a total of 10 goals scored. Unfortunately, BG found themselves on the wrong side of the offensive shootout, losing 6-4 to the home team. The team showed perseverance by fighting themselves back into the game after being down by a 2 goal margin twice, but could not find the equalizer in the final minutes when the match was 5-4. Eastern would find the back of the net again as the Falcons pressed forward to force over time. On the day, four different BGSU players scored: Katie Stephenson, Madeline Wideman, Tracy Togba, and Alyssa Zuccaro. Assists were credited to Jackie Tamerlano, Alyssa Zuccaro, Megan Amman, and a duo assist to Stephenson and Wideman on the last goal.

The Falcon's looked to bounce back on Sunday, with a match against defending MAC champion, Central Michigan. The team held CMU scoreless for 80 minutes before the defending champs were able to break the 0-0 deadlock from a corner kick. The Falcons put tremendous pressure on Central in the waning minutes to find the equalizer again (Alicia Almond nearly scored on a 40yd blast), but the effort was perhaps a little too late as Central managed to keep a clean sheet.

The team next travels to Toledo in a rivalry game that is sure to be one for the books. Game time is set for 4:00pm at Toledo. Following the UT game, the falcons will travel to Ball State for their Sunday Match.
