6 ANDY RICHARDS HEAD COACH 11TH SEASON SHEFFIELD CITY POLYTECHNIC (ENGLAND), OVERALL ( MAC) Andy Richards enters his 11th season as head coach of the Bowling Green State University women s soccer program, having guided the Falcons to unprecedented heights during his first decade. Richards enters the 2010 season with a collegiate head coaching record of Richards led the Falcons to the first Mid-American Conference Tournament title and NCAA Championships berth in school history in 2004, then guided the Brown and Orange to the first regularseason crown in BG annals in 05, along with a second-straight league tourney title and NCAA berth. Richards Then-BGSU Director of Athletics Paul Krebs announced the hiring of Richards as the second coach in the program s history on April 10, Richards, 44, came to BG after five seasons as assistant women s soccer coach at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Ore. In February of 2006, BGSU reached an agreement with Richards on a three-year contract, marking the first time in school history that a soccer coach had received a multi-year contract at Bowling Green. Then, in May of 2008, BGSU and Richards agreed on another multi-year extension. Richards teams have been at their best come MAC Tournament time. During his watch, the Falcons are in league tourney matches, ranking him second among all coaches in conference history in MAC Tournament wins. No MAC coach has more trips to the league tournament s title game than Richards, as the 2007 season marked the fifth time he had guided a BG squad to the championship match. Two of those appearances, as mentioned, resulted in MAC Tournament titles and trips to the NCAA Championships. In his first 10 years in BG, Richards has led the Falcons to the MAC Tournament on eight occasions, guiding his team to the semifinals seven times. The total of five trips to the championship match includes four in a six-year span. In 2008, Richards guided the Falcons to a overall record, as BG had the fewest losses in a season in school history. The Brown and Orange went in MAC action, the program s fourth consecutive winning season in conference play, and set a school record with 14 shutouts in the 22 games. The 2008 team s total of 12 wins tied for second on the BGSU list, and the Falcons.636 winning percentage was the second highest in the history of the program. The 08 senior class of Brianne Eisenhard, Susan Hunter, Kristin McDonald, Gina Rossi, Corbie Yee and Christy Zabek posted 46 wins, the highest four-year total in program history. Rossi, a fifth-year senior, was with the BG program for a total of 56 wins. In 2007, Richards led the Falcons to a overall mark and a MAC ledger. The Brown and Orange finished fourth in the MAC s regular-season standings, and advanced all the way to the championship match of the conference tournament for the fourth time in five Novembers. The Falcons closed the 2007 season on a seven-match unbeaten streak. 6 BOWLING GREEN FALCONS 2010 WOMEN S SOCCER BGSUFALCONS.COM

7 In 2006, with 12 newcomers on the 24-woman roster, Richards guided the Falcons to a league record and a tie for third place in the conference standings. BGSU s 10 wins all came by shutout, setting a school record for the second year in a row. In 05, Richards led the Brown and Orange to a overall record, including a league ledger, en route to MAC Coach-ofthe-Year honors. The 05 team set school records for most wins and fewest losses in a season, both overall and in MAC play, and also set a record with an 11-match unbeaten streak. That streak began in late September and took the Falcons all the way through the league tournament and into the NCAAs. The Falcons did not allow a single goal in the three MAC Tournament games, spanning 310 total minutes. Richards and the 05 Falcons swept the MAC s specialty awards, as senior Samantha Meister was the league s Player of the Year and Corbie Yee was named the MAC Freshman of the Year. Richards, in addition to being named the conference coach of the year, was runnerup for Soccer Buzz Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year. Also in 2005, Ali Shingler became the first BGSU women s soccer student-athlete ever to earn Academic All-America First-Team honors. In 2004, the Falcons were seeded eighth for the MAC Tournament, after finishing with a record in league regular-season play. But, the Falcons downed top-seeded KSU on the road in the quarterfinal round, going on to defeat fourth-seeded Western Michigan in the semis before picking up a championship-game win over Central Michigan. In 2003, just as in `04, the Falcons finished league play at to earn the eighth seed for the MAC Tournament. But, Richards guided the `03 Falcons to the tourney s championship match. That fall, the Brown and Orange became the lowest-ever seed to win a first-round match, with a 2-1 road victory over top-seeded Eastern Michigan. Richards and the Falcons then advanced past CMU via PKs in the semifinals, before falling in the championship. In 2002, Richards performed one of the top coaching jobs in the MAC, if not the Midwest. The Falcons, picked to finish ninth in the MAC s preseason poll, finished fourth in the loop with a record. Overall, the Brown and Orange had a mark, shattering the school records for both league and overall wins. Those records, of course, stood until Under his direction, the Falcons have had the MAC s Newcomer of the Year three times, including in two consecutive seasons. Meister earned the honor in 2002, after Kristy Coppes had won the award in the 2001 campaign. In 2000, his first year at the helm, all Richards did was guide the seventh-seeded Falcons to the championship match of the MAC Tournament. That team was the lowest seed in MAC history to win a first-round match at the time. That fall, his inaugural BGSU squad set a school record with 10 victories, posting a overall record. The Falcons doubled the win total of the previous season, and BGSU went in MAC play to place seventh among the 12 league squads. When the MAC Tournament began, however, Richards and the Falcons -- beginning a trend that would continue throughout the years -- pulled a pair of upsets against higher-seeded teams to advance to the championship round. In the final, BG battled Miami through nearly 112 minutes of scoreless soccer before the RedHawks got an overtime goal to capture the tourney title. A native of Warwick, England, Richards brought to the Falcons a wealth of experience in not only intercollegiate soccer, but also in club, high school, and youth soccer. For the two years prior to coming to BG, Richards served as a member of the coaching staff for the Region IV Olympic Development Program. He was also the state coach for the 17-year-old age group of the Oregon Olympic Development Program. Richards was heavily involved with the Corvallis United Soccer Club his final four years there.
