BGSU Finishes Fourth at Master's Classic
The Falcons recorded its third highest score of the season, but it wasn't enough as the Falcons finished fourth at the Master's Classic in Lincoln, Neb. No. 7 Nebraska won the meet with a score of 196.500, followed by No. 15 Iowa (195.500) and Kentucky (194.650). BGSU finished fourth with a team score of 189.450.
Falcons Post Season-High on Floor
To go along with one of the Falcons' highest scores of the season, BGSU did post a season-best 48.500 on the floor exercise. Dawn Christman scored a 9.825, followed by Megan Valentini (9.775), Monica Eaton (9.675), Megan Harrington (9.675) and Kasey Fillmore (9.550).
Series With Opponents
Bowling Green is 1-0 all-time versus Bridgeport and 4-10 versus Kentucky. The Falcons have never beaten George Washington (0-4). This will be the second time in as many weeks that the Falcons have faced Kentucky (two teams competed at the Master's Classic in Lincoln, Neb. last weekend).
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 5-6 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.
