Linda (Popovich) Nicastro is one of the best student-athletes to ever attend BGSU.
On the court, as a setter, she was a three time All-MAC selection, one of only three players in school history to earn league honors three times; the MAC Freshman of the Year in 1986, the MAC Player of the Year in 1989, and along with Tammy Schiller, the first Falcon player ever to earn All-Mideast honors (second team, 1989).
Nicastro, a Battle Creek, Mich. native, also established BG career records for assists (4406, also a MAC record at the time), digs (1246, also a MAC record at the time), and aces (190, still stands).
Nicastro never missed a match in her four year career at BGSU. She was awarded the prestigious NCAA Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship in 1990 -- the second year that it was awarded.
