Steve Klein, a native of Nashville, Tenn., ended his standout career in the Brown and Orange by being named the MAC Player of the Year and an NSCAA First-Team All American as a senior. A three-time All-Mideast Region honoree, he led the MAC and the region in scoring in that senior season of 1996, with 50 points on 18 goals and 14 assists. Klein tied the school single-season record for assists with 17 as a sophomore, earning all-league and All-Ohio first-team accolades that fall, and was on the all-region second team.

Klein scored 26 points as a junior, en route to first-team all-league, all-state and all-region recognition. He helped the Falcons to a four-year record of 57-20-4, including an 18-4-1 ledger as a senior, when BG won the MAC’s regular-season and tournament crowns. BG advanced to the ‘Sweet 16’ of the NCAA Championships in both his junior and senior seasons. Klein finished his career as the all-time leader in assists (45) and points (119). His goal total of 37 ties him for third in BGSU career annals, following the 2010 season.

Steve Klein was elected to the BGSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006.
