Ali Mann (2003-07) was a key member of some of the finest women’s basketball teams in BGSU and MAC history. A four-year starter, she helped the Falcons post a record of 103-25 in her four years. BGSU advanced to the championship game of the MAC Tournament in all four seasons, winning titles in each of the last three years.
Mann finished her career second in school history in scoring and third in rebounding, with totals of 1,825 points and 911 rebounds. She became just the sixth player in league history to be named MAC Player of the Year, MAC Freshman of the Year and MAC Tournament MVP during her career. Mann ended that career as the BGSU record-holder in free throws made (482) and attempted (677), and currently (as of summer 2024) ranks second in both categories.
A two-time All-MAC First-Team selection, Mann was named to the MAC’s All-Tournament Team three times, earning tourney MVP honors in 2006. The following season (2006-07) saw Mann share the MAC Player-of-the-Year award as the Falcons went 31-4 and became the first MAC women’s basketball team to advance all the way to the ‘Sweet Sixteen’ of the NCAA Championships.
In that '06-07 season, Mann hit two of the biggest shots in school history, with a last-minute jumper in the lane vs. Oklahoma State and a late three-pointer against Vanderbilt. Those shots helped the Falcons nail down NCAA Tournament wins in the first and second rounds, respectively.
