Roth and the Falcons have allowed just one goal over the last four games, and that lone goal came on a penalty kick in BGSU's 1-0 loss vs. Akron Saturday night (Oct. 11).

At the other end of the field, Roth and the Falcons have surrendered just seven goals all year.
Roth has started all 12 matches for the Falcons this fall, and has played 1,053 of the team's 1,104 minutes this season to date.
