Richards and the Falcons also won the '05 regular-season crown.

MAC TOURNAMENT SUCCESS: FIFTH FINAL FOR FALCONS
In 2007, the Falcons advanced to the MAC Tournament's championship match for the fifth time in school history, and the fourth time in the last five years ... a few more notes regarding BGSU's trips to the title tilt ...
• The Falcons' five trips to the final is the highest total in MAC history ... Miami has made four appearances in the MAC Tournament's championship match, while Northern Illinois has made three.

BGSU lost to Miami in the 2000 final, in Richards' first year at the helm ... the Falcons fell to Western Michigan in the 2003 championship, before winning the first MAC Tournament title in school history with a 2-0 triumph over Central Michigan in the 2004 championship match ... in 2005, BGSU battled Kent State to a scoreless draw, before winning the title via the PK route.

MAC TOURNAMENT SUCCESS II: A 'TOUGH OUT' IN NOVEMBER
It has been well documented on these pages that the BGSU women's soccer program has enjoyed success in the MAC Tournament over the years ... here's one more stat to illustrate the Falcons' success when November rolls around ... BGSU has played a total of 20 matches in the MAC Tournament, more than any other program in the conference ... BG has averaged 2.5 matches played per tournament appearance - a pretty good ratio when considering that it takes three matches to win the tourney.
FOUR FALCONS EARN ALL-OHIO HONORS
Four members of the BGSU women's soccer team earned honors from the Ohio Collegiate Soccer Association for the 2007 season ... juniors Brianne Eisenhard and Corbie Yee and sophomores Colleen Kordan and Stacey Lucas all received All-Ohio accolades ... Yee and Kordan each were named to the OCSA's All-Ohio Team, with both earning second-team honors ... Eisenhard was named to the organization's Academic All-Ohio First Team, while Lucas earned academic all-state second-team laurels ... Yee led the Falcons in scoring, with 13 points in 2007, on four goals and a team-leading five assists ... Korden started all 22 games and anchored a defensive unit that has helped the Falcons record 17 shutouts during her two seasons ... Eisenhard, like Kordan, started every game and was named to the all-tourney team at the MAC Tournament ... Lucas tied for second on the team with 12 points, including a team-leading five goals, in '07.
YEE NAMED TO ALL-MAC TEAM; THREE FROSH ALSO HONORED
Junior Corbie Yee was a repeat selection to the All-MAC Team in 2007 ... the Berea, Ohio, native was named to the all-league second team for the second consecutive year ... she has earned conference honors in each of her first three years with the Falcons, having been named the MAC's Freshman of the Year in 2005 ... three freshmen on the '07 squad - redshirt freshman Alexa Arsenault and true frosh Meagan Moran and Jackie Tamerlano - were named to the MAC's All-Freshman Team ... both the All-MAC and all-freshman teams are the results of voting by the league's 12 head coaches ... Yee is only the third player in school history to be a two-time selection to the All-MAC Team, joining Samantha Meister (first team in both 2003 and 2005) and Beth Wechsler (a second-team choice in 1998 and 2000).
McDONALD EARNS MULTIPLE ACADEMIC HONORS
Junior Kristin McDonald was named to the Academic All-MAC Team, earning that honor for the first time in her Falcon career ... the team is the result of voting by faculty athletic representatives at MAC institutions ... McDonald also was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team, earning second-team honors ... she played in 15 matches, making one start ... McDonald had two assists on the year, coming in games vs. Youngstown State and Central Michigan ... she was taken down in the penalty box, with the foul leading to the PK that tied the game in an eventual win over Western Michigan ... she maintains a perfect 4.00 cumulative GPA as a health science major.
THREE FALCONS NAMED TO ALL-TOURNEY TEAM
Senior Tiernay Tilford, junior Brianne Eisenhard and sophomore Colleen Kordan were named to the MAC's All-Tournament Team in 2007 ... all three earned the honor for the first time in their respective careers.
WORKING OVERTIME
The Falcons gave fans their money's worth - and then some - in 2007 ... no fewer than nine of BGSU's matches went to overtime, including six of the final eight contests of the year ... the nine matches was a school record, and was just two away from the NCAA record (11 OT matches; William & Mary in 2005).
LAST TIME OUT
The Falcons battled arch-rival Toledo to a 2-2, double-OT draw in the championship match of the MAC Tournament (Nov. 11) ... but, the Rockets advanced past BGSU to win the title, 3-2, via penalty kicks ... Brianne Eisenhard and Corbie Yee scored BG's goals ... the game marked the final contest in uniform for the four-member senior class of Danielle Cygan, Tiffany Hansen, Rachael Ross and Tiernay Tilford ... the match was played in a steady rain, with large puddles throughout the entire field of play ... the weather wreaked havoc with both teams' game plans, and the match was delayed for nearly 90 minutes late in the first half due to lightning ... redshirt freshman Alexa Arsenault made four saves in her 110 minutes in goal ... junior Christy Zabek entered the match for the PK phase ... she stopped one UT try, and got her hand on another shot, before the ball trickled into the net.
FALCONS IN THE MAC TOURNAMENT
In 2007, BGSU qualified for the MAC Tournament for the sixth consecutive season and the eighth time in the 11-year history of the program ... prior to the current six-year run, the Falcons had never made the tourney in back-to-back seasons ... the Falcons, the 2004 and 2005 tournament champions, are 3-1-2 all-time in league tourney home matches after the quarterfinal-round win over Eastern Michigan ... BGSU now has a 6-1-1 record in the quarterfinals through the years, and the Falcons have an overall record of 3-2-2 in semifinal-round action ... BGSU is now 1-2-2 in league tournament championship games through the years ... additional facts about BGSU's MAC Tournament history are in the PDF version of this release, as well as the Falcons' all-time game-by-game results.
A(NOTHER) WINNING RECORD
At 6-5-0 in 2007, the Falcons finished with a winning record in MAC play for just the fourth time in the 11-year history of the program ... after going 9-2-0 in league action in 2005 and 7-4-0 in '06, the Falcons have posted back-to-back-to-back winning MAC records for the first time ever ... BGSU's only other winning MAC mark came in 2002, when the Falcons finished at 7-4-1 ... the '07 Falcons finished among the top-four teams in the MAC standings for only the fourth time (fourth in 2002, first in 2005, tied for third in 2006) in school history, and the third-straight year ... overall, the Falcon have now posted four consecutive seasons of double-digit wins for the first time in school annals ... BG has had back-to-back-to-back records of at least .500 for the first time ever.
Andy Richards: MR. NOVEMBER
The Falcons have enjoyed more than their fair share of success in MAC Tournament action over the years under head coach Andy Richards ... Richards-coached teams are 9-4-5 in league tourney matches since he took the helm in 2000 ... the Falcons have advanced via PKs in four of the five ties, meaning BG has moved on in 13 of the 18 MAC Tournament matches under Richards ... 2007 marked Richards' fifth trip to the finals, the most of any coach in MAC history (Miami's Bobby Kramig has made four trips).
THE FALCONS ARE ...
• 100-112-19 all-time, through 11 seasons of program history;
• 53-56-11 in Mid-American Conference regular-season matches;
• 10-5-5 in MAC Tournament games;
• 32-17-6 vs. MAC schools over the last four seasons (including regular-season and tournament matches), and 24-12-4 vs. conference foes in the last three years;

• 3-2-2 all-time in the MAC Tournament semifinals;
• 30-1-1 in the last 32 games in which BG has scored first; and
• 2-0-0 in the last two games in which the opponents have scored first (BG rallied from 1-0 deficits to beat both Toledo [Nov. 1] and Eastern Michigan [Nov. 4]).
ABOUT THE FALCONS
BGSU finished 10-9-3 on the season, and the Falcons ended the MAC regular-season schedule with a 6-5-0 league ledger ... BGSU finished in fourth place in the final conference standings, then advanced past Eastern Michigan and Ball State in the league tournament to qualify for the championship match ... BGSU drew with Toledo in that tourney final, before the Rockets advanced to the NCAAs via penalty kicks ... the Falcons had a 5-4-0 record at home in '07, and BG was 5-5-2 mark on the road ... the Toledo match marked BGSU's first neutral-site game of the year ... the Falcons ended the year on a seven-match unbeaten streak, having tied Ball State and Toledo after winning each of the previous five matches by a single goal ... freshmen and sophomores combined to score 19 of the team's 28 goals on the season ... junior Corbie Yee led a balanced scoring attack with 13 points, while sophomore Stacey Lucas and freshman Meagan Moran had 12 points apiece ... Lucas led the Falcons with five goals, while Moran had four goals and four assists to rank second on the team in both categories ... she scored two goals in the last two minutes of the win at UT to close the regular season ... Yee paced BGSU with five assists, and tied Moran for second with four goals ... the first three of her goals were game winners, with all three coming during the aforementioned five-game winning streak ... freshman Jackie Tamerlano had nine points, while senior Danielle Cygan scored seven points on the season ... soph Faith Juillerat and freshman Katie Stephenson each had five points ... in goal, redshirt freshman Alexa Arsenault was 7-3-3 with a team-high 63 saves and a team-low goals-against average of 0.82 ... junior Christy Zabek had a 3-5-0 record with 32 saves and a 1.93 GAA ... she also made two huge saves of penalty kicks during the PK phase of the Ball State match, saves that will not show up on her stats but are as meaningful as any she will ever make ... Zabek also entered the Toledo match during the PK phase, making one save ... senior Tiffany Hansen had eight saves in her four matches played ... the Falcons had returned 16 of 20 letterwinners, including nine starters, from a youthful 2006 squad that went 10-10-0 overall and 7-4-0 in MAC play.
HEAD COACH Andy Richards
Andy Richards completed his eighth season as a collegiate head coach, all with the Falcons ... he has guided the Brown and Orange to unprecedented heights during that time ... the 2005 MAC Coach of the Year, Richards currently has an overall record of 81-78-15 ... his teams have been at their best come MAC Tournament time, as Richards-coached squads are 9-4-5 in league tourney games through 2007 ... no MAC coach has as many trips to the league tournament title game as Richards, as the 2007 game marked his teams' fifth appearance in the final ... upon his arrival in Northwest Ohio, he took over a team that had gone 19-34-4 in the previous three seasons ... last year, Richards guided the youthful Falcons to 10 overall wins and a tie for third place in the MAC standings ... that came on the heels of the '05 campaign, in which he led the Falcons to the first regular-season title in BG annals and a second-straight MAC Tournament crown ... Richards has led BGSU to the semifinal round of the league tourney on six occasions (counting 2007), to the championship match a MAC-record five times (again, counting 2007), and, in 2004, to the first league tourney title and NCAA Tournament berth in school history ... Richards and the Falcons repeated that feat in '05, as BGSU again won the MAC Tournament crown ... the Falcons have gotten the job done 13 of 18 times in the league tourney games during the Richards Era, having advanced via penalty kicks in four of the five ties.
AR-SUH-NO (AS IN NO GOALS ALLOWED)
Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Alexa Arsenault played all 110 minutes of scrimmage play to earn a shutout against regular-season champion Ball State on the Cardinals' home pitch in the MAC Tournament (Nov. 9) ... the shutout was her sixth of the season, just one shy of the school record ... Arsenault picked up those six shutouts in just 13 starts ... Erika Flanders set the record with seven shutouts in 2002, while Ali Shingler had seven in the 2005 season.
ZABEK SHUTS 'EM DOWN
Christy Zabek is from Hendersonville, Tenn., where the climate is warmer than that of Northwest Ohio or Muncie, Ind. ... but, the junior goalkeeper clearly has ice water coursing through her veins ... Zabek had not seen game action in over a month (since the Oct. 5 match vs. Central Michigan) prior to the semifinal round of the MAC Tournament on Nov. 9 ... and, she did not play during regulation or either overtime of the Ball State match ... but, with that match heading to the penalty-kick phase, and the Falcons' season on the line, Andy Richards and the BGSU staff called upon Zabek, and the junior did not disappoint ... she saved two of the Cardinals' three PK tries - with the third one going wide of net - to help the Falcons advance to the championship match ... in the championship match vs. Toledo, Zabek again entered the fray during the PK phase ... she made a save, and got her hand on another Rocket shot, which wound up trickling into the net ... a few more notes on the Falcons and the penalty kick follow.
THE PK CAN BE YOUR FRIEND ...
• The Falcons certainly have had their fair share of success in penalty kicks through the years ... BGSU's MAC Tournament match at Ball State marked the fourth consecutive time that BGSU had advanced in matches which had gone to PKs ... that list includes the 2003 MAC Tournament semifinal match vs. Central Michigan, as well as 2005 MAC Tournament contests vs. Toledo (quarterfinals) and Kent State (championship).
• The Falcons were a perfect 4-for-4 on penalty kicks on the season, through that Ball State match ... believe it or not, opponents were 0-of-5 on PKs against BG on the year to that point ... Danielle Cygan converted BGSU's lone penalty-kick try of the regular season, in the win over Western Michigan (Sept. 30) ... Cygan, Colleen Kordan and Brianne Eisenhard all made their PKs against BSU ... Falcon foes were 0-for-2 on PKs during the regular season, and BSU kick-takers were unsuccessful on all three kicks in the league tourney semifinal round.
... BUT CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY
BGSU's impressive penalty-kick streaks came to an end in the MAC Tournament championship vs. Toledo ... in that match, the Falcons made their first PK (Colleen Kordan), but each of BG's next three tries were unsuccessful ... sophomore Stacey Lucas made her kick, but UT was 3-for-5 on PKs to advance to the NCAA Championships ... on the year, the Falcons were 6-for-9 on PKs, while opponents were 3-for-10 ... that UT match also marked the first time that BGSU did not advance in a match that went to the penalty-kick phase.
BGSU, UT MEET WITH SOMETHING ON THE LINE
It seems as if something is always on the line when BGSU meets Toledo ... sure, the importance of getting a win over your arch-rival school always exists ... but, the last seven meetings certainly have had a great deal at stake ...
• In 2004, the Falcons and Rockets met in the final regular-season game, and BG and UT entered that match in a tie for ninth place ... with the winner earning a trip to the MAC Tournament, and the loser seeing the season come to an end, the Falcons picked up a 3-0 victory at Scott Park (Oct. 28, 2004) ... that win put BG into the league tourney as the eighth and final seed, and the Falcons proceeded to win three games and the tournament.
• Exactly one year later (Oct. 28, 2005), BG and UT again met at Scott Park to close the regular season ... this time, the Falcons needed a win to clinch the first regular-season title in school history ... BGSU got that victory, by the slimmest of margins, 3-2, as Falcon goalie Ali Shingler was forced to make a save in the final seconds of the match.
• The teams met at Cochrane Field less than a week later (Nov. 1, 2005), in the quarterfinal round of the MAC Tournament ... top-seeded BGSU and eighth-seeded UT battled through 110 minutes of scoreless soccer, before the Falcons advanced to the semifinal round via penalty kicks.
• In the final regular-season game of 2006 (Oct. 26, 2006), with BGSU needing a win to clinch a home berth for the league tourney quarterfinals, the Falcons and Rockets again waged a scoreless battle into overtime ... this time, however, a Brianne Eisenhard goal gave the Falcons a 1-0 win in the second OT period.
• Three days later (Oct. 29, 2006), however, the Rockets returned to Cochrane Field and exacted some revenge with a 3-0 win in the MAC Tournament quarterfinals ... that UT win snapped a four-game series unbeaten streak for the Falcons.
• In the 2007 regular-season meeting (Nov. 1), freshman Meagan Moran scored a pair of late goals, giving BGSU a 2-1 road win and clinching a home berth for the quarterfinal round of the MAC Tournament ... Moran's two goals came just 1:21 apart, with the second goal coming with only 23 seconds left in regulation.
• The Falcons and Rockets met just 10 days later (Nov. 11) in the 2007 MAC Tournament's championship match ... the teams, as mentioned on numerous occasions earlier in these notes, battled to a 2-2 tie through double overtime, before the Rockets advanced to the NCAA Championships via the penalty-kick route.
• Each of the last four MAC Tournament titles have gone to Northwest Ohio teams, with the Falcons and Rockets winning two apiece.
YEE DOES IT AGAIN
Junior Corbie Yee scored four goals in the 2007 season ... each of the first three were game-winning goals at Cochrane Field, with two coming in overtime, while the fourth gave the Falcons a second-half lead in the MAC Tournament's championship match ... Yee was named the MAC Player of the Week on Oct. 29 after scoring both of the Falcons' goals in wins over Ohio (Oct. 26) and Akron (Oct. 28) ... her goal in the OU game came in OT ... on Nov. 4, the Berea, Ohio, native again scored a 'Golden Goal' to give the Falcons a MAC Tournament quarterfinal-round win over Eastern Michigan ... her goal in the Akron game came in the 62nd minute.
SIX MORE NOTES ABOUT #6
• Junior Corbie Yee's goal vs. EMU was her second 'Golden Goal' of the season and the third of her career, tying the school record in each case ... Samantha Meister held both marks, as her three OT goals as a Falcon included a pair in the 2003 season.
• Three of Yee's four goals on the year, as mentioned, were game-winning goals ... she has scored the winner in each of the Falcons' last three home games, heading into the 2008 season.
• Yee now has seven career GWG, tying her for third on the BGSU list ... Kristy Coppes had no fewer than 14 game-winning goals from 2001-04, while Meister (2002-05) had eight and Jill Conover (1999-2002) also had seven.
• Yee is the Falcons' active career leader in goals (13) and points (35) ... she sits in seventh place in career goals at BGSU ... Yee now ranks ninth in points, having moved past Beth Wechsler (32 from 1998-2001) with her goal vs. EMU ... 12 of Yee's 13 career goals have come against MAC opposition.
• Yee is only the second player in school history to score more than one goal in the MAC Tournament ... she now has a career total of seven points (three goals, one assist) in the league tourney, ranking second in BG annals in both tournament goals and points ... Coppes had a whopping six goals and 13 points in MAC Tournament matches.
• Yee wound up leading the 2007 team in scoring, with 13 points ... she had four goals and a BG-high five assists on the year ... in MAC matches only, Yee tied for the team lead with eight points on the season.
WORKING OVERTIME
The tie with Toledo in the MAC Tournament final (Nov. 11) gives the Falcons an all-time record of 17-14-19 in overtime matches ... believe it or not, the regular-season loss at Ball State (Oct. 19) was the first time in the 11-year history of BGSU women's soccer that the Falcons lost a road game in OT ... after a tie with the Cardinals in Muncie in the MAC Tournament semifinals, BG has now gone 7-1-9 in overtime matches on opposing soil ... a few other Falcon overtime facts ...
• The Falcons are now 8-11-8 in home overtime games and 2-2-2 in neutral-site OT affairs;
• The Falcons played nine OT matches in 2007, breaking the school single-season record ... BG tied the single-season record for overtime wins, with three ... the Falcons played eight OT matches in 2003, going 2-3-3 ... BGSU was 3-0-0 in overtime last season, tying the school mark for OT wins in a year (3-1-1 in 2000) ... in '07, the Falcons went 3-3-3 in OT;
• Three of the 17 overtime wins in program history have come on Oct. 26 ... Samantha Meister (who holds the school record with three 'Golden Goals') scored in OT to give the Falcons a win at Marshall, Brianne Eisenhard's goal on Oct. 26, 2006, gave the Brown and Orange a 1-0 win over Toledo, and Corbie Yee found the back of the net for a 1-0 victory vs. Ohio in '07;
• The 2007 Ohio game marked the first time in school history that BGSU played three consecutive overtime games ... after back-to-back games that ended in regulation, the Falcons again played three-straight OT matches, with all three coming in the MAC Tournament;
• BGSU went nearly four years without an overtime loss ... after an OT setback vs. Ohio State on Halloween of 2003, the Falcons were unbeaten in the next 10 such matches (5-0-5), including seven-straight at home, before a home loss to Wright State on Sept. 14 of the 2007 season;
• Beginning with that WSU game, the Falcons were winless in four consecutive OT matches on the year (0-3-1) before the win at Miami ... the Falcons now have a new streak, having gone unbeaten (3-0-2) in the last five OT contests, heading into 2008;
• BGSU is now 3-2-5 in MAC Tournament contests that require overtime ... the Falcons advanced via penalty kicks in four of those five ties, meaning that BGSU has moved on in seven of the 10 league tourney OT matches in program history.
MILESTONE WIN
The Falcons' victory over Eastern Michigan (Nov. 4) was the 100th win in program history, and also was the 10th win in MAC Tournament play ... BGSU is now 10-5-5 in league tourney action, for the second-most MAC Tournament wins of any team (Miami is 13-4-1).
MORAN STRIKES TWICE AT TOLEDO
Freshman Meagan Moran scored a pair of late goals in the Falcons' regular-season win at Toledo (Nov. 1) ... Moran's two goals came 1:21 apart, ranking her third on the list of 'fastest two goals' by an individual ... but, it could be argued that Moran's two goals were the most dramatic ... Moran's feat marked the fastest two goals by an individual in a MAC game in school history ... and, no other pair of goals came so close together, so late in a game ... Tracy Gleixner set the record with a pair of goals just 17 seconds apart vs. Detroit nine years ago (Oct. 27, 1998) ... Kristy Coppes scored two goals just 1:10 apart against the same school, in a win over UDM on Sept. 4, 2002.
THE 2007 CAPTAINS
Seniors Danielle Cygan, Tiffany Hansen, Rachael Ross and Tiernay Tilford were the captains of the 2007 Falcons.
THOSE WHO STAY PLAY FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
The BGSU women's soccer program completed its 11th season in 2007 ... through those first 11 years, every player who has stayed with the program all four years has been a part of at least one team that has advanced to the MAC Tournament's championship match.
