BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (BGSUFalcons.com) - Four members of the Bowling Green State University women's soccer team have earned honors from the Ohio Collegiate Soccer Association in recent weeks/months. Juniors Brianne Eisenhard and Corbie Yee and sophomores Colleen Kordan and Stacey Lucas all received All-Ohio accolades.

Yee and Kordan were named to the OCSA's All-Ohio Team, with each earning second-team honors. Eisenhard was named to the OCSA's Academic All-Ohio First Team, while Lucas earned academic all-state second-team honors.

Yee, a native of Berea, Ohio, led the Falcons in scoring, with 13 points in 2007. An All-MAC Second-Team selection for the second consecutive year, she had four goals and a team-leading five assists. All four of Yee's goals came over the final six matches of the season, with three proving to be the game winner (including two 'Golden Goals') and the other goal coming in the championship game of the MAC Tournament. She tied the school records for OT winners in a season (two) and career (three), with the second of this year's 'Golden Goals' coming in the league tournament's quarterfinal round, against Eastern Michigan at BGSU's Cochrane Field.

Kordan, a defender from Strongsville, Ohio, was one of just four Falcons to start all 22 matches in 2007. She had one point on the year, an assist which came on the winning goal in the second overtime at Miami. After anchoring a Falcon defensive unit that set a school record with 10 shutouts during her freshman season of 2006, Kordan helped the Falcons record seven more shutouts in '07, including three-straight shutouts late in the regular season. She ended her year by being named to the MAC's All-Tournament Team.

Eisenhard, like Kordan, was named to the league's all-tournament team. And, like Kordan, Eisenhard started all 22 games on the 2007 season. Her only two points of the season came on a free-kick goal, which opened the scoring in the MAC Tournament's championship game vs. Toledo. A native of West Chester, Ohio, Eisenhard currently has a cumulative grade-point average of 3.53 as a sport management major.

Lucas, a native of Huber Heights, Ohio, tied for second on the team with 12 points in 2007. The forward led the Falcons with five goals on the year, and was involved in the scoring of the team's first three goals of the season. She scored both BG markers in a 2-1 home win over Eastern Illinois, the first multiple-goal game of her career, and she also had the GWG in the Falcons' MAC road win over Kent State. Currently, Lucas maintains a 3.56 cumulative GPA as an early childhood education major.

The Falcons posted an overall record of 10-9-3 in 2007, and head coach Andy Richards and Company went 6-5-0 in MAC play. Richards, assistant coach Scott Gloden and the Falcons placed fourth in the MAC regular-season standings, and advanced all the way to the championship game of the conference tournament for the fifth time in six years. The Falcons closed the 2007 on a seven-match unbeaten streak.

Currently, BGSU is in the midst of the 2008 spring schedule, which continues Saturday (April 5) with a pair of matches at Cleveland State.

The OCSA serves 49 Ohio colleges and universities at all three levels of NCAA affiliation and the NAIA. Voting was done by OCSA member coaches.
