FALCONS RECEIVE SOME PRESEASON PUB BGSU has been listed in several preseason polls and rankings as the season gets underway... the Falcons were ranked 20th in the nation in the Athlon Sports poll, 21st by Lindy's and 25th in the country in the CSTV.com preseason poll... additionally, ESPN women's basketball analyst Nancy Lieberman ranked the Falcons 24th in the nation on her preseason chart... BGSU was listed 30th (fifth team under 'receiving votes') in the USA Today/ESPN coaches preseason poll, and the Falcons were 29th in the initial Associated Press rankings of the year... finally, Charlie Creme had the Falcons ranked 32nd on his list of "64 teams we like heading into " on ESPN.com. LAST TIME OUT The Falcons battled through some early-game jitters to post a win at Detroit Friday night (Nov. 10) in the season opener for both teams... BGSU received a balanced scoring effort, as six players scored between nine and 11 points on the night... seniors Carin Horne and Ali Mann scored 11 points apiece, while senior Megan Thorburn and junior Whitney Taylor each had 10 points... senior Liz Honegger had nine points, while classmate Amber Flynn also had nine points, along with a game-high eight rebounds off the bench... the Falcons got off to a slow start, as UDM took a 5-0 lead and held BG without a field goal for over five minutes... but, the Falcons battled back to take the lead for good, 14-13, on a pair of Mann free throws with 10:47 left in the first half... BGSU then rolled to a halftime lead, and the Falcons were never headed... the Falcons shot 45.1 percent from the field, while holding the Titans to just a 24.5% success rate. HONEGGER NEARING A(NOTHER) RECORD Officially, senior Liz Honegger was credited with one blocked shot in Friday's win at Detroit (though she had more)... Honegger's name is all over the BGSU lists for blocks, and she is approaching yet another record... she set the singlegame record as a freshman, and has tied or broken the school season marks both overall and in MAC games in each of her first three seasons... now, Honegger is just two rejections away from tying Angie Bonner's BG career record... Honegger, of course, is on pace to obliterate the school career mark for blocks per game. BGSU CAREER BLOCKED SHOTS Player Games Blk. BPG 1.

3 Game 2 Falcons at Notre Dame Nov. 13, 2006 Page 3 BACK HOME AGAIN IN INDIANA Senior Liz Honegger has experienced a great deal of success in the Falcons' last few trips to the state of Indiana... Honegger, a native of Lafayette, Ind., has posted the three highest-scoring totals of her career in BG visits to her home state... as a sophomore, she scored a career-high 27 points at IPFW (Nov. 19, 2004), then matched that total in a win at Ball State (Feb. 8, 2005)... she had a 25-point game vs. IUPUI last Nov. 25 (part of IU's Hampton Inn Classic), marking the third time in her career all in Indiana that she had scored at least 25 points in a game... in last season's win at BSU (Feb. 11, 2006), Honegger had 'only' 14 points, but also had five blocks, four steals and was 3-for-3 from threepoint land... in the NCAA Tournament vs. UCLA at Purdue's Mackey Arena, Honegger scored 15 points and picked up five steals.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE FALCONS The Falcons, 1-0 on the young season, returned nine letterwinners from last year's team that finished 28-3 overall and won the MAC with a perfect 16-0 league ledger... BGSU, after winning the conference's regular-season title for the second year in a row, went on to win the Kraft MAC Tournament for the second-straight March... head coach Curt Miller and Company returned all five starters from last season... the returning players combined for 92.9 percent of the team's scoring and 90.7% of the Falcons' rebounding total.

THE JUNIORS The Falcons' two juniors, Kate Achter and Whitney Taylor, have helped BGSU win MAC regular-season and tournament titles in each of their first two seasons... BG has an overall record of since the two arrived on campus, and the Falcons are 49-7 when Achter is in the starting lineup. THE SOPHOMORES Lindsey Goldsberry and Jasmine McCall have seen their team win over 90 percent of its games, and the two players have never been a part of a loss to a MAC opponent... McCall played in every game last year, while Goldsberry saw action in 30 of the 31 games, making two starts. THE FRESHMEN Tara Breske (Temperance, Mich.), Laura Bugher (Greenwood, Ind.) and Sarah Clapper (Newark, Ohio) join the Falcons for the season... stats from the Detroit game were more of an approximation than an exact science, but the three players combined for roughly 20 minutes played, two points and five rebounds in their respective collegiate debuts. BENCHMARKS The Falcons returned all five starters from the team that went but, at Detroit, it was the play of the BG bench that provided a spark in the first half... senior Amber Flynn, junior Whitney Taylor and sophomore Jasmine McCall, in particular, were a big part of the Falcons' win... Taylor, the first player off the bench at UDM, had 10 points in a career-high 18 minutes, while Flynn scored nine points and had a game-high eight rebounds... McCall had two points, but had four assists and four steals to top all players in both categories... "I thought Jasmine may have played the best game of her BGSU career tonight," said coach Curt Miller following the game... the BG bench outscored Detroit's reserves by a 25-4 count. DOING IT WITH DEFENSE The BGSU defense held Detroit to just five field goals in the first half and 13 for the game... the Brown and Orange allowed the Titans to shoot just 18.5 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes, en route to a 24.5% field-goal percentage on the evening... and, the Falcons allowed the Titans to make just one field goal over the final 11:14 of the first half. DOING IT WITH DEFENSE II Detroit's total of 37 points marked the fewest allowed by the Falcons in the Curt Miller Era... BGSU had surrendered just 39 points on two occasions during Miller's tenure, most recently against Kent State in last year's MAC Tournament championship... the Titans' 24.5% field-goal pct. was the second-lowest against the Brown and Orange during that time, topped (bottomed?) only by Savannah State's 20.8% rate in December of 2002.

5 Game 2 Falcons at Notre Dame Nov. 13, 2006 Page DEFENSE LEADS TO OFFENSE The Falcons also held the Titans off the scoreboard for a lengthy stretch in the second half on Friday, long enough to put together a 16-0 run... that run was longer than any scoring run by the Falcons... last season, BGSU's biggest run was 15-0, in a win over Ohio. SCOUTING NOTRE DAME Notre Dame, like BGSU, enters Monday's game with a 1-0 record... the Fighting Irish began the season with a home win over Central Michigan, 88-66, on Friday night (Nov. 10)... four players scored in double digits in that game, as UND registered its highest point total in two years... junior center Melissa D'Amico led the way with 16 points in just 15 minutes, while junior guard Charel Allen had 15 points... the Irish returned eight letterwinners, including three starters, from last year's team that went overall, 8-8 in Big East play and advanced to the NCAA Tournament... one of those returning starters, sophomore guard Lindsay Schrader, has suffered a season-ending injury... the other two returning starters are junior guard Tulyah Gaines and senior guard Breona Gray... Muffet McGraw, in her 20th season as head coach of the Irish, has a record of the school's athletics web site is THE SERIES The Falcons trail Notre Dame, 2-0, in the all-time series between the teams, with the Irish winning those two games by an average of 20 points... in the lone previous game at the Joyce Center, the Irish posted a win nearly 11 years ago (Nov. 26, 1995)... the teams met again the following year, in this writer's first game as women's basketball SID at BGSU, and the Irish picked up an win at Anderson Arena (Nov. 23, 1996)... the boxscore from the most recent meeting can be found on page 19 of this game notes package. LAST TIME THEY MET The Falcons held a halftime lead over Notre Dame, but the Irish outscored BGSU, 46-27, in the second half en route to the win at Anderson Arena (Nov. 23, 1996)... Katryna Gaither, a preseason All-America honorable-mention pick, scored 19 of her game-high 25 points after the break, leading five members of the Irish in double digits... Notre Dame entered the contest ranked No. 14 in the Associated Press poll and 17th in the USA Today/CNN Coaches poll... Falcon senior Michelle Terry led the home team with 16 points, while sophomore guard Chrissy Billiter came off the bench to score 11 markers... three Falcons scored nine points apiece, including Charlotta Jones, Sherry Kahle and Jacki Raterman... for Raterman, the nine points represented a career best to that point, while Kahle was 4-for-5 from the field after earning the start in her collegiate debut. EARLY START The game at Detroit on Friday November 10 marked the earliest start to the season in school history, and, obviously, the earliest win in BG annals... the Falcons began the season on Nov. 12, with a Preseason WNIT game at Ohio State. WELCOME FRESHMEN All 12 players on the active roster saw action for the Falcons in the win at UDM, including all three freshmen... Tara Breske made her collegiate debut with 10:45 remaining in the second half, while Sarah Clapper checked in with 8:54 on the clock... Laura Bugher saw her first action with 6:49 left in the game.

BG was 2-5, then played two MAC games before another non-conference loss on Jan. 9, 1996 $ BGSU's record through December of the Falcons played a total of 19 non-league games that season, with many in January and February FALCONS SIGN SEVEN On Thursday (Nov. 9), BGSU coach Curt Miller announced the signing of seven student-athletes to National Letters of Intent... Chelsea Albert (Brighton, Mich./ Brighton), Bianca Hooten (North Canton, Ohio/Canton McKinley), Liana (Lee) Jennings (Stow, Ohio/Stow), Crystal Murdaugh (Dublin, Ohio/Dublin Scioto), Tracy Pontius (Morton, Ill./Morton), Jen Uhl (Wadsworth, Ohio/Wadsworth) and Kelly Zuercher (Orrville, Ohio/Apple Creek Waynedale) will join the Falcon program for the academic year... the Falcons expect to add one more signee during the early signing period. FALCONS PREDICTED TO THREE-PEAT The Falcons have been picked to win the MAC's East Division and repeat as MAC Tournament champions in 2007, according to the league's preseason poll... the poll is the result of voting by members of the MAC News Media Association and the league's 12 head coaches... the Falcons received 245 points and 40 of the 41 first-place votes in the poll... Eastern Michigan, the preseason choice in the West Division, received 214 points and garnered 21 first-place votes... a total of 35 voters chose BGSU to win the MAC Tournament, with Kent State (two), Western Michigan (two) and Toledo (one) also receiving votes... the complete poll, with first-place votes and points received... MAC NEWS MEDIA ASSOCIATION PRESEASON POLL EAST DIVISION WEST DIVISION 1. Bowling Green (40) Eastern Michigan (21) Kent State (1) Western Michigan (8) Miami Ball State (6) Ohio Northern Illinois (6) Buffalo Toledo Akron Central Michigan 66 VOTES TO WIN MAC TOURNAMENT Bowling Green 35; Kent State, Western Michigan 2; Toledo 1 THREE NAMED TO PRESEASON ALL-MAC TEAM Seniors Liz Honegger and Ali Mann and junior Kate Achter were named to the Preseason All-MAC Team... the trio joined head coach Curt Miller in downtown Cleveland for the MAC Basketball Preview on Oct five players from each of the MAC's two divisions were named to the preseason all-conference team... BG was the only school with more than one player selected... Mann was named to the Preseason All-MAC Team for the third consecutive season, while Honegger earned the honor for the second-straight year and Achter was a first-time recipient. FLYNN, HONEGGER AND MANN TO CAPTAIN FALCONS A trio of seniors Amber Flynn, Liz Honegger and Ali Mann have been named tri-captains of the Falcons... the three were selected in a vote of team members as well as coaching staff... Mann is a second-year captain, having been a unanimous selection last year as a junior. NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS In , the Falcons went 9-2 in non-conference play, posting a winning record for the fourth consecutive year... BGSU is the only Mid-American Conference school to have turned that trick. BG had not had as many as three consecutive winning non-league campaigns in over a decade (since to )... now, of course, BGSU has posted four-straight winning seasons in non-conference action, for the first time since five consecutive teams from through turned the trick.

7 Game 2 Falcons at Notre Dame Nov. 13, 2006 Page 7 BGSU's total of nine non-conference wins last year tied the school record, and the Falcons have had at least seven non-league victories in each of the last four seasons. Since the start of the season, BG is in regular-season, nonleague games, for the most wins and highest winning percentage (68.9%) of any MAC school during that time. In , the Falcons' 7-4 non-league mark enabled BG to tie the school record for most wins in a three-year period, with 21 (the Falcons also went 7-4 in non-conference action during the and '03-04 seasons)... with nine non-league wins last season, the Falcons have broken that record, as BG has a total of 23 non-conference victories over the last three years... not surprisingly, BGSU's total of 30 non-league wins from to is a school record for non-league wins in a four-year period. THIS YEAR, THOUGH... The Falcons' non-conference schedule will provide a stern test... BGSU's challenging non-league slate features six games against opponents that advanced to national post-season play last year, as well as two extended trips to exotic locales... a few notes... The Falcons will play a total of five non-league home games, the most in 16 years; BGSU will meet four teams Duke, Notre Dame, Oakland and Temple that advanced to the NCAA Championships last year, and two more Delaware and Indiana that participated in the WNIT; Two more non-league foes, Robert Morris and Texas-Arlington, won 20 games a year ago; All five home games are against teams that won 20 games last year and/or advanced to national postseason play; The Caribbean Classic in Cancun, Mexico, will mark the first games played outside the United States in program history; The Chicago State game (Jan. 30) will mark the first non-conference matchup in the middle of the MAC schedule since January of A FEW MORE NOTES FROM THE DETROIT GAME BGSU is now in season-opening games in program history,and in road openers Detroit still holds a 10-9 lead in the all-time series with BGSU... but, the Falcons have won the last three contests in the series, including wins at Calihan Hall in each of the last two years... last Nov. 30, the Brown and Orange rallied from a second-half deficit for a win in the Motor City BGSU has held two of the last three opponents to under 40 points, dating to last season... and, the Falcons have limited three of the last four foes to 46 points or less... BG picked up wins by scores of (Toledo) and (Kent State) to cap last year's MAC Tournament run junior Whitney Taylor played a careerhigh 18 minutes in the win, and also set a career best with four free throws made sophomore Jasmine McCall, a native of Detroit, had four steals in her hometown to tie her career best FALCON RESULTS NOVEMBER 18 IPFW (BCSN) W, SAINT FRANCIS (PA.)

LW - final ranking BGSU IN THE AP POLL Nov. 8 (Preseason) RV (53) 35 OF THE LAST 39 The Falcons have won 35 of the last 39 games, dating to February of BGSU's only losses during that time have come to Kansas State (2005 NCAA Tournament), Delaware (by four points at St. Joseph's tournament), Kentucky (overtime in Lexington) and UCLA (2006 NCAA Tournament). HONEGGER IN A CLASS BY HERSELF Liz Honegger is making her mark as one of the top players in school history, and as one of the most versatile players in the history of the MAC... three years into her career, Honegger has accomplished something that no other MAC player has ever done... Honegger is the only player in MAC history to block at least 125 shots and make at least 125 three-point field goals in her career... she enters the Notre Dame game with totals of 153 treys and 153 rejections... only two other players in MAC annals reached 100 in both categories (Stephanie Smiley [Eastern Michigan, ], 174 three-pointers, 103 blocks; Tamara Bowie [Ball State, ], 100 three-pointers, 152 blocks). SHE'S THE ONLY MEMBER OF THIS CLASS, TOO Liz Honegger is the only player in BGSU history to make more than 40 threepoint field goals and block 40 shots in the same season... and, in , she joined that club for the second-straight year... Honegger made 59 triples and blocked 50 shots in her sophomore season, and had 57 treys and a schoolrecord 52 blocks last winter... her totals make her the first member of the club as well. DOUBLE TROUBLE Senior Ali Mann scored 11 points in the win at Detroit, giving her 71 doubledigit scoring games in her career... in that game, classmate Carin Horne reached double figures in scoring for the 45th time as a Falcon... Megan Thorburn's 10-point game marked the 16th time she has reached that plateau, while junior Whitney Taylor had the third double-figure scoring night of her BGSU tenure, and the first since her freshman year. PERFECT IN THE MAC The Falcons became just the fifth team in MAC history, and the first in eight years, to complete the league regular-season schedule without a loss... Curt Miller's club was the third BGSU team to go 16-0 in league play... the two prior BG teams to turn the trick were coached by Fran Voll, as his and clubs each went 16-0 in league regular-season action... Central Michigan was the first-ever MAC team to go undefeated in conference action, with a mark of 18-0 in prior to '05-06, the most recent league team to do so was the 18-0 Kent State squad in BACK TO THE BIG DANCE In '05-06, BGSU qualified for the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive season and the eighth time in school history... BG's appearance in the national tourney had been the Falcons' first since that year, BGSU was the #13 seed in the Kansas City Regional, and dropped a decision to fourth-seeded and nationally-ranked Kansas State in the first round (March 19, 2005), at Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle, Wash.... last year, BGSU was a #12 seed in the Cleveland Regional, and fell to fifth-seeded UCLA in a matchup of nationally-ranked teams at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Ind.

BACK TO BACK IN THE MAC As mentioned earlier (and we'll probably mention it again), BGSU has won both the Mid-American Conference regular-season and tournament titles for the second consecutive year... this marks only the fourth time that such an event has occurred, and the first time in over a decade... Bowling Green teams have pulled off the feat on three of those four occasions... the list... BACK-TO-BACK MAC REGULAR-SEASON AND TOURNEY TITLES School Years Bowling Green , and Toledo and Bowling Green and Bowling Green and BACK TO BACK IN THE MAC TOURNAMENT BGSU's back-to-back Kraft MAC Tournament titles mark the sixth time in league history that the same school has put together a tourney title streak... the Falcons' 2005 and 2006 crowns make BG the first team since Toledo in the mid-1990s to win the league tournament in consecutive years... the Fran Voll-coached BGSU teams from hold the record with four-straight conference tourney titles... BACK-TO-BACK MAC TOURNAMENT TITLES School Years Central Michigan 1983 and 1984 Bowling Green 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990 Toledo 1991 and 1992 Bowling Green 1993 and 1994 Toledo 1995, 1996 and 1997 Bowling Green 2005 and 2006 DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS With four starters averaging in double digits in scoring, the Falcons enjoyed great balance offensively en route to a 28-3 record last year... but, a storyline just as important was BGSU's defense, with the Kraft MAC Tournament providing a prime example... in the three games in the tournament, the Brown and Orange allowed an average of just 48.7 points per game... BGSU surrendered just 42.5 ppg in the final two games, wins over Toledo (68-46) and Kent State (64-39)... those two teams shot a combined 29.8 percent, going 34-for-114 from the field against the BGSU defense.
