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 lead the nation in two categories. BG continues to lead the country in three-point field goals made per game, with an average of 9.25 (NCAA stats through games of Monday, March 6). That figure has BG poised to set 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.
The Falcons, in 28 contests this season, obliterated the school record by making a total of 259 three-pointers. The "old" school record of 135 successful three-pointers in a season was set just last winter. BGSU finished the 1999-2000 season with an overall record of 11-17.
Additionally, BGSU now leads the nation in free-throw percentage, having converted at a school-record success rate of .774 this winter.
Individually, junior Angie Farmer (Wayland, Mich./Union) ranks among the national leaders in three-point field goals made per game. Farmer, who averaged 2.78 treys per game, is tied for 13th in the nation, having made a school-record 78 in 28 contests.
Sophomore Francine Miller (Kalida, Ohio/Kalida) is 16th in the country in two categories, three-point field-goal percentage and free-throw percentage. She finished the year with a .453 rate from behind the arc and a percentage of .856 from the charity stripe.
The next NCAA Division I statistics update will take place at the conclusion of the NCAA Women's Basketball Championships.
