BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University women's basketball team, after several weeks of preseason practice, finally gets to play against another team ... the Falcons will open head coach Curt Miller's third campaign with an exhibition game against the Premier All-Stars tonight (Nov. 3) ... the Premier All-Stars come to Anderson for the eighth consecutive season (counting two years, 1996-97 and 1997-98, as the Ohio All-Stars), and rallied for an 87-83 victory over the Falcons in last year's lone exhibition contest for the Brown and Orange.
Admission to the exhibition game, which begins at 7:00 p.m., is free.
Following tonight's game, the Brown and Orange will have nearly three weeks to prepare for the regular season ... BGSU will open with a contest at Youngstown State on Saturday, Nov. 22, before hosting Detroit in the home opener three days later (Nov. 25) ... that contest vs. UDM is part of a doubleheader with the Falcon men's team.
A FEW PRESEASON NOTES...
THE ALL-STARS
Two players listed on tonight's roster for the Premier All-Stars, Jamie Lewis and Lisa Cline, combined for 44 points in last year's exhibition game at Anderson ... Lewis, a former Ohio State standout, led the All-Stars with 23 points, while Cline, who set the Ohio high school scoring record at Millersburg West Holmes H.S. in the mid-1980s, had 21 ... tonight's All-Stars roster also includes former MAC stars Angela (Drake) Bray, who played at Toledo, and Lori Moorman, out of Ohio University ... Kenosha Chastang, who spent a year at UT, also is on the roster ... Stefanie Wenzel had a game-high 26 points for the Falcons, while Jill Lause had 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting off the bench in last year's game.
WELCOME, FRESHMEN...
The Falcons have seven freshmen on the 2003-04 roster, from a total of five different states ... Amber Flynn (Cincinnati, Ohio), Julie Gompers (Wheeling, W.Va.), Liz Honegger (Lafayette, Ind.), Carin Horne (Lima, Ohio), Ali Mann (Chelsea, Mich.), Kim Nowakowski (Butler, Pa.) and Megan Thorburn (Mason, Mich.) join Curt Miller's squad ... Nowakowski broke her foot in the summer, and re-aggravated it in individual workouts ... she had surgery last Monday (Oct. 27), and the timetable for her return is uncertain at this point.
