WATCHING WESTERN MICHIGANÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
The Broncos of Western Michigan enter play this week at 9-6-1 overall and 3-4-1 in the MAC having suffered back-to-back 1-0 losses on the road last week at Ball state and at Miami.

The Broncos have had 10 different players account for a goal thus far this season and are led by Rachel Chaney's team-high four goals. WMU has split time between Stephanie Heber and Kaitlyn Collin, as the duo have combined for nine shutouts and a total of 52 saves on the year.
SNEAK PEEK AT THE HUSKIES OF NIUÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Northern Illinois, who hosts Eastern Michigan and Bowling Green this weekend in DeKalb, Illinois, enters play this weekend at 5-9-2 overall and 3-3-2 in conference play.

NIU has totaled 18 goals this season from 11 different players and is led by Lauren Gierman's team-high three goals, while five other players have notched two goals apiece.
WHAT A WIN ON FRIDAY MEANS ...                                                                                                                                Â
A win on Friday afternoon at Western Michigan will give the Falcons three straight victories. The last time that BGSU won three straight matches was back in September of 2010, when the Falcons beat Indiana State, Buffalo and Kent State. A win would also give the Falcons three straight MAC wins, the first time that BGSU has done that since October 2008. It will also give the Falcons four MAC wins, the most conference wins in a single season since the Falcons posted six conference victories in 2008.
WEEKEND OF REDEMPTIONÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
The process is continuing for the Falcons, as head coach Lindsay Basalyga and her team continue to restore and rebuild the program back to MAC contenders, yet this weekend was one of redemption for BGSU who posted back-to-back wins for the first time since 2011. Prior to last weekend's two straight wins over Ohio and Kent State, BGSU had not won back-to-back games since defeating Youngstown State 2-1 and IPFW 1-0 in September of 2011. BGSU also posted two straight conference wins for the first time since recording wins over Buffalo and Kent State in September of 2010.
6 POINT WEEKEND FOR BGSU Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
With the Falcons' back-to-back home wins over Ohio and Kent State last weekend, BGSU picked up six points in the MAC regular season standings. The Falcons moved to 3-5-0 overall in the MAC and moved into a tie with Kent State and Toledo with nine points heading into this week.
CADEL TABBED MAC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK (OCT. 20)
BGSU starting goalkeeper Lauren Cadel was rewarded for a strong weekend of play in between the posts for the Falcons last week, as she was named the MAC Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, Oct. 20. Cadel tallied 24 saves over the Falcons' two home MAC wins over Ohio and Kent State. The redshirt-sophomore posted 14 saves, a new career-high, in a 2-1 win over Ohio on Oct. 17 and then recorded 10 saves in a 1-0 shutout win versus Kent State on Oct. 19.
CADEL SAVE-INGSÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Redshirt-sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Cadel has once again had a strong season in goal for the Falcons thus far in 2014, as she has posted 119 saves on the year which leads the MAC this season. In fact, Cadel has recorded double digit saves five times this season, including a career-high 14 saves versus Ohio on Oct. 17 Last year, Cadel registered 109 saves on the season.
CAREER LEADER - LAUREN CADELÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
In just her second season in goal for the Falcons, redshirt-senior Lauren Cadel has already become BGSU's career leader in games with double digit saves. With her two games of double digit saves this past weekend and her five total games with 10 or more saves this season, Cadel now sits atop of the career record books with 11 career games with double digit saves.
