CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Mid-American Conference office has announced the 2001 MAC Volleyball Honor Roll, and nine members of the Bowling Green State University team were among those honored. The Falcons' nine honorees are the most of any conference school.
Seniors Natalie Becker (3.22 grade point average/pre-medicine [biology]), Caty Rommeck (3.12/special education [mild moderate intervention specialist]), Amber Vorst (3.78/communication disorders) and Kate Yeo (3.60/international business), redshirt junior Kristin Gamby (3.35/accounting), redshirt sophomore Laura Twyman (4.00/accounting), sophomores Susie Norris (3.84/elementary education) and Sara Sikorski (3.56/psychology) and redshirt freshman Bridget Protas (3.60/pre-medicine [dentistry]) all were named to the team.
Becker, Gamby and Vorst become the first-ever Falcons to be named to the Honor Roll three times. The MAC Honor Roll is in its third year of existence. Twyman and Yeo both earn the honor for the second time in their respective careers.
To be eligible, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher and earn a letter for the current season. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible, as a student-athlete must have attended the institution for an entire year to qualify for the award.
Additionally, the conference office has reinstituted the Academic All-MAC Team after a two-year absence, and three Falcons have been named to that squad. Gamby, Norris, Twyman, Vorst and Yeo all are Academic All-MAC Team members for 2001.
To be named to the Academic All-MAC Team, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher and have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's competitions.
The Falcons finished the 2001 season with an overall record of 21-8, and BGSU finished with a 12-6 MAC mark and an East Division crown. The Falcons have won 21 matches in each of the last three years, and the divisional title was BG's second in as many years. The Falcons tied for the East Division championship in 2000.
