Falcons Get In the Win Column Early
BGSU opened the 2011 campaign with a bang back on Jan. 9 in a 190.225-185.525 win over Illinois-Chicago at home inside Anderson Arena. The Falcons claimed the top three results on vault, bars and floor and took home two of the top three spots on beam in the season-opening win. The Falcons also claimed the all-around crown with the help of Dawn Christman.
Speaking of Christman
Junior Dawn Christman had the best meet of her career, posting an all-around score of 38.425 versus UIC. Christman won the floor (9.775), was second on vault (9.775), third on beam (9.425) and sixth on bars (9.450). Her previous all-around best score was 36.500 versus Ball State last season.
Series Versus Huskies
Bowling Green is 10-5 all-time versus Northern Illinois, which includes a 192.625-190.900 win last season inside Anderson Arena. The Falcons are 4-2 in their last six meets on the road in DeKalb, Ill.
Huskie Scout
NIU is 0-3 on the young season after finishing third in a meet with Kentucky and Illinois and dropping a 187.800-186.625 meet to fellow MAC opponent Eastern Michigan last Sunday. Senior Holly Reichard (NIU) claimed three events inside the NIU Convention Center
The House That Roars
The Falcon gymnasts built a new nest in Anderson Arena in 2009 and that continues today. Since moving to Anderson Arena the Falcons are 5-3 inside the “House That Roars”. With volleyball, men's basketball and women's basketball moving into the Stroh Center in 2011, Anderson Arena will solely be the home for BGSU gymnastics next season.
Falcons Announce 2011 Captains
BGSU head coach Kerrie Beach has announced that seniors Amber Brewer and Lexi Psichopaidas, along with red-shirt junior Kasey Fillmore and sophomore Danielle Wishart will serve as captains for the 2011 campaign.
Beach Leads BGSU
Head coach Kerrie Beach begins her fourth season at the helm of the BGSU gymnastics program. Last season Beach helped coach the team to a five-match win streak and a 4-2 conference record, both best in nearly a decade. She has an 19-29 overall record and is 9-9 in Mid-American Conference play.
Falcons Picked Sixth In 2011 Preseason Poll
The Mid-American Conference announced the 2001 gymnastics preseason poll on Jan. 4, with the Falcons picked to finish sixth among the seven team field. The poll was voted on the league's head coaches. Kent State was picked to win the league.
