Victory over Broncos Sends BG to Semi-Finals

The Bowling Green Women's Soccer team defeated Western Michigan yesterday afternoon to clinch a spot in the MAC Tournament Semi-Finals. The team posted a very strong showing against the Broncos and came away with a 2-0 victory. BG came out flying and played some of their best soccer of the year. On the day, the Falcons generated 15 shots on goal and had many other dangerous chances to put a point on the board. Much credit deserves to be given to the WMU goalkeeper and defensive line for thwarting most of the BG offensive attacks. It took until early in the Second half for BG to score their first goal. Colleen Kordan calmly recorded the first goal of the game from a penalty kick awarded to BG from a WMU handball in the box. Z would round out the scoring midway through the second half to make the score 2-0 in favor of the Falcons. With the win, the Falcon defense notched an additional shutout, giving them an outstanding total of 14 for the year.

As mentioned, the win moves BG on to the Semi-Final round in the MAC Tournament. The Falcons will face rival Toledo in this Semi-Final Game on Friday at Scott Park on UT's campus. Kick off time is set for 2:00.
