NATIONAL GIRLS & WOMEN IN SPORTS DAY
>> Wednesday's WMU game will be part of National Girls & Women in Sports Day (presented by GKN Driveline) at BG. BGSU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will conduct a clinic from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, which will feature each of Bowling Green's women's athletic teams interacting and engaging with children to teach the importance of sport participation, leadership and leading a healthy and active lifestyle.
>> All participants will receive a bottled water for use during the clinic, as well as a complimentary ticket to the BGSU-WMU game. Registration for the clinic is limited to the first 75 children in grades 1-8, and the link to register can be found near the top of this very page.
GOOD AS GOLDS
>> Wednesday is Lindsey Goldsberry Bobblehead Night, and the first 400 fans through the Stroh Center doors will receive a free bobblehead. Goldsberry (now Lindsey Goldsberry Sweeney) is expected to be in attendance at Wednesday night's game.
>> Goldsberry finished her career as the winningest player – man or woman – in MAC basketball history. The Falcons posted an overall record of 114-20 in her four years with the Falcons, an average of 28.5 wins and just 5.0 losses per season. BG went 59-5 in MAC regular-season play during her four years and advanced to the NCAA Championships and the WNIT twice each during that time.
>> Prior to the start of the 2005-06 season, Goldsberry's freshman year, no MAC women's basketball team had ever won more than 27 games in a season. The Falcons surpassed the 27-win total three times in her four seasons, with a 28-3 mark in her freshman year of 2005-06 and a 29-5 record (including a school-record 25 consecutive wins) in her senior season of '08-09.
>> And, Goldsberry was a member of the 2006-07 BGSU team that went 31-4 and advanced to the Round of 16 in the NCAA Championships. The win total remains a MAC single-season record, and the '06-07 Falcons remain the only women's hoops program in league history to make an NCAA "Sweet Sixteen" appearance.

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 WMU
Western Michigan is 14-9 on the season, and the Broncos are 5-7 in MAC action to date. Western will be looking to snap a five-game losing streak on Wednesday night, with the most recent setback coming by a 94-83 score at Central Michigan on Saturday. WMU is 6-4 at home, 7-5 on the road and 1-0 in neutral-site games this season. In MAC play, the Broncos have gone 2-3 at home and 3-4 on the road. Marley Hill paces four double-digit scorers with 15.4 points per game for WMU, while Breanna Mobley has 14.4 ppg and a team-leading 10.0 rebounds per contest and is shooting 57 percent from the field. Meredith Shipman has 11.6 ppg and has hit 55 three-pointers, while Deja Wimby has 10.7 ppg. Wimby has 5.4 assists and 2.7 steals per game to lead the Broncos in both categories, while Shipman has 3.4 apg and 2.4 spg. Head coach Shane Clipfell welcomed back 10 letterwinners, including two starters, from a Bronco team that went 17-15 overall and 8-10 in the MAC a year ago.
THE SERIES
The Falcons lead Western Michigan, 35-28, in the all-time series between the teams, but the Broncos have captured each of the last five meetings. In this season's first matchup, Western downed BGSU by a 75-58 score in Kalamazoo (Jan. 11, 2017). The last meeting inside the Stroh Center saw the Broncos pick up a 65-49 win just over a year ago (Feb. 10, 2016). BGSU's last win over WMU was a 72-50 verdict at the Stroh three years ago (Feb. 5, 2014). BG is 18-11 in home games (2-1 at the Stroh Center), 14-16 in road contests and 3-1 in neutral-site games vs. Western over the years.
UP NEXT
Following the WMU matchup, the Falcons will return to the road for a weekend matchup at Miami. BGSU will battle the RedHawks on Saturday (Feb. 18), in a 2:00 p.m. start at Millett Hall. The MU tilt is the first of five consecutive intradivisional games to end the regular season.
