PREVIEW OF EASTERN MICHIGAN
The Eagles started the 2016 season against some difficult opponents in Iowa, Minnesota, and Oregon State. The Eagles were able to defeat Oregon State 2-1 with a late goal by senior Michelle Rollins. Eastern Michigan has started off slow in Mid-American Conference play; most recently they had a dramatic overtime game against Miami in which they fell just short in a 3-2 final. The Eagles are led by redshirt senior Ellie Tillar who has three goals on the year and is also tied for the team's lead in assists with three. In goal for the Eagles is sophomore Kaylin Williams who has recorded two shutouts and allows 1.97 goals per game with a .662 save percentage. The Eagles are second in the MAC in corner kicks with 28 and fourth in total shots with 47.
FALCONS VERSUS THE EAGLES ON THE PITCH
BGSU is 9-13-1 all-time against Eastern Michigan University on the pitch. Last season, the game was held at Scicluna Field in Ypsilanti, Michigan where the Falcons downed the Eagles in a 2-1 final on Oct. 29, 2015.Â
PREVIEW OF CENTRAL MICHIGAN
The Chippewas sit on top of the conference by averaging 5.17 points per game, by an average of a MAC-leading 1.83 assists per game off of 22 total assists. Central Michigan has also tallied six shutouts of the season thus far, and rank second overall with just nine total goals allowed. Defensively, the Chippewas have the second-best goals against average in the conference of 0.73 with thanks to goalkeeper Kristen Knutson, who individually marks a 0.67 average by allowing just eight balls to get past her. Leading the Central Michigan offense is Alexis Pelafas, who has notched 11 of the team's 20 goals this season, already accumulating 23 points this season. CMU is coming off of a heartbreaking double overtime 0-0 tie with Ball State, and will look to rebound on Thursday as they host Toledo in MAC play.
FALCONS VERSUS CENTRAL MICHIGAN ON THE PITCH
All-time, the Falcons hold a 5-13-2 record against the Chippewas, most recently falling in a narrow 1-0 final on Oct. 11, 2015 on the road.
LAST WEEK'S WRAP UP
The Bowling Green women's soccer program took to the road for matches at Buffalo and Akron. The Falcons dropped the first match against Buffalo 2-0 but came back strong and defeated Akron 2-1 with early goals. Scoring for the Falcons came early from junior Skylar Fleak, her sixth on the year, and freshman Sam Howshar, in her first career goal. Senior Lauren Cadel was back in the net for the Falcons and faced eight total shot attempts and recorded four saves.
ON TAP FOR THE FALCONS
After hosting Eastern Michigan, the Falcons will once again hit the road for three straight MAC games. On October 9 the squad will face Central Michigan University at 1 p.m. Then the Falcons will head to Muncie, Ind. on Friday, Oct. 14 for a matchup against Ball State University. The Falcons will finish out the road stint with a matchup against Miami University on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 1 p.m.
