BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The NCAA has released the latest Division I women's basketball statistics, and Bowling Green State University is listed in a number of categories. As a team, the Falcons continue to lead the nation in three-point field goals made per game, with an average of 9.22 (NCAA stats through games of Monday, Feb. 28). That figure, if BG can maintain it, would be the highest seasonal average in NCAA Division I history. The 1993-94 South Carolina team is the only team to date to average more than nine successful treys per game, with 9.19.
Through 27 contests this season, BGSU has already set a school record by making a total of 249 three-pointers. The "old" school record of 135 successful three-pointers in a season was set just last winter.
Additionally, BGSU is third in the nation in free-throw percentage, with a success rate of .774.
Individually, junior Angie Farmer (Wayland, Mich./Union) ranks among the national leaders in three-point field goals made per game. Farmer, averaging 2.8 treys per game, is tied for 11th in the nation, having made a school-record 76 in 27 contests.
Sophomore Francine Miller (Kalida, Ohio/Kalida) is ranked in two categories. She is 13th in the country with a three-point field-goal percentage of .462, and is 20th nationally with a free-throw percentage of .856.
The NCAA Division I statistics are released each week (generally late Tuesday or early Wednesday) during the season. National stats will be released each week through March 4.
BGSU is 11-16 overall, and finished Mid-American Conference play with a league record of 8-8. The Falcons have won five consecutive games after Monday's (Feb. 28) 84-70 win over visiting Ohio in the first round of the MAC Tournament. The seventh-seeded Falcons will face #2 seed Western Michigan in the quarterfinals Thursday (March 2) at Public Hall in Cleveland. That game will begin at 6:30 p.m.
