In just her third career start with the Falcons, the guard set new career records in points (21), three-point field-goals made (5) and minutes played (32) while also matching her personal record in rebounding (8). Goldsberry was 7-of-10 from the field and 2-of-3 from the free throw line. In the win, the Dayton, Ohio native also picked up five assists [one shy of her career best six] and two steals.
Late in the first half, Goldsberry ignited a 16-0 Falcon run with a pair of back-to-back three-pointers - she and fellow guard Lauren Prochaska would go on to account for a combined 13-of-16 unanswered points in the offensive explosion.
With the win, BGSU won their fifth consecutive home opener under head coach Curt Miller.
Goldsberry and the Falcons will play their first road series with a pair of games in Nashville, Tenn. against Lipscomb (11/15) and Belmont (11/18). BGSU will then return home for a post-Thanksgiving non-conference contest against St. Bonaventure on Saturday (Nov. 24).
