NOTE OF THE DAY -- THIS ONE GOES TO ELEVEN
>> Sophomore Maddie Cole knocked down a three-point shot less than a minute after checking into Wednesday night's game against Buffalo. The basket was Cole's first three-pointer of the year, and made her the 11th different player on the BGSU roster to hit a long-range shot this season to date.
A TRADITION OF SUCCESS
>> Bowling Green has won 14 MAC regular-season championships and 11 league tournament titles, the highest totals among all conference teams. Prior to the injury-plagued season of 2014-15, the Falcons had won at least 20 games in a MAC-record 11 consecutive seasons. BG won at least 24 games in nine-straight seasons during that span, losing just 18 total games in MAC regular-season play during those nine years.
>> The Falcons made 10 consecutive national postseason trips from 2005-14, with five NCAA Championships appearances and five trips to the WNIT during that time. The 2006-07 team was the most successful in MAC history, winning a league-record 31 games en route to an NCAA 'Sweet Sixteen' appearance.
>> Overall, BGSU has won 20 or more games 19 times, the highest total among all Mid-American Conference women's basketball-playing institutions.
SCOUTING THE CARDINALS
Ball State will arrive at the Stroh Center with an overall record of 12-6, and the Cardinals are off to a 5-1 start in MAC play. BSU has won two-straight games, including a 78-49 win over Eastern Michigan Wednesday night in Muncie. The Cards are 8-2 at home, 3-2 on the road and 1-2 in neutral-site action this year to date. Senior center Renee Bennett paces three double-digit scorers with 16.3 points per game, while junior forward Moriah Monaco has 15.0 ppg. Senior guard Jill Morrison rounds out that trio with 11.1 ppg this season. Bennett also leads the team in rebounding, with 7.6 rpg, while Monaco has 6.1 rpg and has hit a team-leading 50 three-point field goals. Morrison has connected on 37 long-range shots. Sophomore guard Carmen Grande paces the Cards in both assists (7.6 apg) and steals (2.1 spg). Head coach Brady Sallee welcomed back a total of eight letterwinners, including four starters, from last year's team. The 2015-16 edition of the Cardinals finished 22-9 overall and 13-5 in the MAC, and BSU advanced to the second round of the WNIT.
THE SERIES
The Falcons lead Ball State, 44-18, in the all-time series between the teams, but the Cardinals have won the last four meetings.
