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.

BG earn another point in MAC play

Last weekend the BGSU Women's Soccer team lost an unfair heartbreaker to rival Toledo on Friday and then traveled to Muncie, IN where they left with a point in hand in a tie over Ball State.

The rival game vs Toledo was again decided by 1 goal (as it usually is), but unfortunately the goal was "scored" by Toledo who were able to hold on to a 1-0 advantage despite much offensive pressure from BG. The lone goal of the game came from a shot which hit the crossbar. The shot appeared to have bounced back into play following the ricochet, but the shot was ruled to have crossed the goal line and the Rockets were gifted a goal that gave them the victory.

On Sunday, the team traveled to Ball State to take on the Cardinals. The game ended in a 3-3 deadlock and felt like another unfair outcome despite good play by the Falcons. Keely Chandler, Jackie Tamerlano, and Alyssa Zuccaro found the back of the net for the Falcons, with assists provided by Sarah Vonderbrink, Kaitlyn Tobin, and Katelyn Turner.

The Falcons next have a two game homestand. Friday Oct 15th the Falcons will take on Akron and Sunday Oct 17th the Falcons will face off against Ohio. As always, admission to home games is FREE.

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.
