CLEVELAND, Ohio - Bowling Green women's basketball standout Francine Miller was named to the All-Mid-American Conference First-Team, it was announced Wednesday (March 1). Voting for the team is conducted by the league's 13 head coaches.
Miller becomes just the second player in BGSU women's basketball history to earn first-team all-league honors in her sophomore season. The legendary Jackie Motycka (1986-89), who was named to the All-MAC First Team all four years, is the only other player in school annals to be so honored.
Miller currently leads the Falcons in scoring, with 17.3 points per game, and rebounding (7.1 rpg). She paces the conference in three-point field-goal percentage (.462) and ranks second in free-throw percentage (.856) and fifth in scoring. Miller's 35-point effort against Kent, which tied the school record, ranks as the highest single-game scoring output in the MAC this year.
The honor is the second by the league in as many years for Miller, who was named to the All-Freshman Team a season ago.
Miller was joined on the first team by Kent's Dawn Zerman -- the league's Player of the Year -- as well as Western Michigan's Shelsea Erving and Kristin Koetsier and Akron's Cheryl Bowles.
The Falcons, 11-16 overall and riding a five-game winning streak, will face Western Michigan Thursday (March 2) in the quarterfinal round of the MAC Tournament. The seventh-seeded Falcons and second-seeded Broncos will tip off at 6:30 p.m. at Public Hall in Cleveland, Ohio.
