THE GAME
The Bowling Green State University women's basketball team, having advanced to national postseason play for the fifth consecutive season, is one of 16 teams remaining in the Women's National Invitation Tournament ... the Falcons of head coach Curt Miller will host Indiana University in third-round action in the WNIT ... the Falcons will meet the Hoosiers on Thursday (March 26), with tipoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at venerable Anderson Arena (3,500) ... the winner of the BGSU-IU game will play either Marquette or Illinois State in the quarterfinal round ... the Falcons won their fifth-straight MAC regular-season title and advanced to the championship game of the Kraft MAC Tournament.

PLAYING DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO MARCH
As mentioned, the Falcons are participating in national postseason play for the fifth consecutive year ... for the third year in a row, BGSU has picked up at least one win in a national tournament ... Sunday's (March 22) 72-69 win over Syracuse was the program's fifth-ever win in national postseason play, and the fourth in the last three seasons ... the Falcons advanced to the 'Sweet 16' of the NCAA Championships two years ago with wins over Oklahoma State and Vanderbilt, and BGSU downed Dayton at Anderson Arena in the first round of last year's WNIT ... overall, BGSU now has a 5-11 record in national postseason play ... the Falcons are now 4-4 in such games in the Curt Miller Era.

FALCONS PICK UP 29TH WIN
The win over Syracuse gives BGSU 29 victories this season ... that total ranks second on both the school and Mid-American Conference lists ... all three of the MAC's top win totals have been compiled by the Falcons over the last four seasons ... the 2006-07 team had 31 wins en route to the NCAA `Sweet Sixteen,' a year after the 2005-06 Falcons had picked up 28 victories.

NOW THAT'S A FIVE-YEAR PLAN
Over the last five years (since the start of the 2004-05 season), the Falcons have won a total of 137 games ... BGSU has averaged over 27 wins per season during that time ... in fact, the Falcons' average win total (27.4) is greater than the program's total number of losses (27) during that five-year span ... BGSU has won five MAC regular-season titles and made five national postseason appearances in that time.

FALCONS AND THE WNIT
The Falcons are appearing in the WNIT for the second consecutive season, and the third time in the program's history ... BG has a record of 2-2 in postseason WNIT play ... 2009 marks the first time BGSU has received a first-round bye in the tournament ... the Falcons are 2-1 in WNIT home games entering Thursday's game vs. Indiana ... 11 years ago, BG dropped a first-round game to Butler at Anderson Arena, 95-90 ... last season, the Brown and Orange defeated Dayton at home by a 64-52 count, before losing at Michigan State, 74-66, in the second round.

BGSU has won 19-straight games at Anderson Arena ... the Falcons won the last five contests of 2007-08 at "The House That Roars," and BG has reeled off 14-straight home wins during the '08-09 season to date ... the Falcons' current streak is tied for the fifth longest in the nation.
FALCONS LIKE THE BIG CROWDS
The fans have turned out in droves to watch BGSU play this season, and the Falcons have thrived on the big crowds ... after the win over Syracuse, BG now has a record of 20-1 this season when playing in front of a crowd of 1,000 or more ... when the attendance is in excess of 2,000, the Falcons are 9-1 ...

Sophomore Lauren Prochaska put up impressive numbers on Sunday (March 22), with 22 points and a career-high 17 rebounds in the Falcons' win over Syracuse ... she hit a rainbow three-pointer to give BGSU the lead for good with 3:30 left ... but, Prochaska's most important number may have been the '2' in the blocked shot column ... with BG leading by three points in the final seconds, the soph soared to swat a three-point shot by SU's Tasha Harris ... the ball went out of bounds to the Orange with 2.0 seconds remaining ... then, on the final play, she got a piece of Erica Morrow's triple try from the corner as the buzzer sounded.
GOLDEN NUGGET: LINDSEY IN A CLASS BY HERSELF
Lindsey Goldsberry, the lone senior on the 2008-09 Falcon squad, has experienced success - a lot of success - since her arrival on campus ... the Falcons' win at Buffalo on Feb. 25 made Goldsberry the winningest player - man or woman - in MAC basketball history ... the Falcons now have a record of 114-19 since 'Golds' ventured to Northwest Ohio prior to the start of the 2005-06 season ... a few more Goldsberry-related notes ...
 The 'old' MAC record was held by last year's BGSU women's basketball senior class, which consisted of Kate Achter and Whitney Taylor ... that duo helped the Falcons go 108-23 during their careers;
 The Falcons have posted at least 26 wins in each of Goldsberry's four seasons in the Brown and Orange, including three of the four highest win totals in MAC women's basketball history (28 wins her freshman year, a conference-record 31 her sophomore season, and 29 this season);
 Despite the March 4 loss at Miami, BG finished 59-5 in MAC regular-season play and went 68-7 against conference opponents (9-2 in the MAC Tournament) during Goldsberry's four years;
 Perhaps the most impressive note? Goldsberry never lost to seven of the 11 MAC opponents during her career, including Akron (8-0), Buffalo (8-0), Central Michigan (5-0), Eastern Michigan (5-0), Kent State (10-0), Northern Illlinois (5-0) and arch-rival Toledo (7-0) ... BG's seven losses to MAC opponents during Goldsberry's career came vs. Ohio in February of 2007; Miami, Ball State and Western Michigan during a three-game span in January of 2008; OU again in the semifinal round of last year's conference tournament in Cleveland; MU in the second-to-last game of the regular season; and BSU in the MAC Tournament championship game;
 Goldsberry's Falcon teams had a record of 29-3 in home games vs. MAC opponents, 9-2 in neutral-site contests vs. league foes (all in Cleveland), and a mind-boggling 30-2 mark in road games vs. conference competition;
 Goldsberry's former high-school classmate is the winningest manager in MAC hoops history ... Randall Clark, like Goldsberry a graduate of Chaminade-Julienne High School in Dayton, is a senior at BGSU, and is in his fourth year as a student manager with the Falcons.
THE FALCONS ARE ...
 29-4 overall this season;
 29-2 in the last 31 games, after an 0-2 start to the season;
 15-1 in MAC play, good for a fifth consecutive league regular-season title;

 55-12 overall, and 28-4 in MAC regular-season games, since sophomores Chelsea Albert, Tracy Pontius, Lauren Prochaska, Jen Uhl and Kelly Zuercher began their respective playing careers at BGSU;
 74-7 in the last 81 games vs. MAC opponents (including regular-season and tourney games);
 36-4 in MAC home games in the last five seasons;
 30-2 in MAC road games over the last four years (with the lone losses during that time coming last season at Ball State and earlier this March at Miami);

 24-11 in MAC Tournament contests played at a neutral site;
 14-4 at Gund/Quicken Loans Arena;
 15-5 in MAC Tournament games in the Curt Miller Era;

 0-0 in games played on March 26 in program history (BG has never played later into the spring than March 24 - that ASU game).
TIMES HAVE CHANGED...
As mentioned, the Falcons will play on March 26 of this year against Indiana, the latest the team has ever played into the spring ... ten years ago, the BGSU women's basketball team dropped a MAC Tournament quarterfinal game at Akron's James A. Rhodes Arena ... that game ended the Falcons' 1998-99 season - on February 26.
CRADLE OF COACHES
Both BGSU basketball coaches picked up some hardware this season ... Falcon men's coach Louis Orr was named the MAC Coach of the Year March 9, and Curt Miller was announced as a co-recipient of the same honor the following evening.
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Sophomore Lauren Prochaska had 22 points and a career-high 17 rebounds in the Falcons' win over Syracuse ... the double-double was her third of the season and the seventh of her BGSU career ... juniors Tara Breske and Niki McCoy each have two double-doubles this season to date.
LONG-RANGE SUCCESS
Sharp-shooting sophomores Lauren Prochaska and Tracy Pontius each have hit over 70 three-pointers this season, the first time in school history that two players have topped that mark in the same year ... Pontius now has 75 triples this season, the second-highest total in BGSU history ... she is just three away from Angie Farmer's school record of 78, set in 1999-2000 ... Prochaska has hit 73 shots from beyond the arc, ranking fourth on the school single-season chart.

A BGSU player has scored at least 30 points in a game five times this year ... Lauren Prochaska has done so on three occasions, including a school-record 43-point outing in the regular-season win over Central Michigan ... with her 32-point outburst vs. Toledo in the MAC Tournament, Tracy Pontius has now scored over 30 points twice in '08-09 ... prior to this season, a BGSU player had scored 30 points a total of five times in the first seven years of the Curt Miller Era.

Senior Lindsey Goldsberry and junior Tara Breske are the co-captains of the 2008-09 women's basketball Falcons.
