Thanks, Seniors!
May 16, 2020 | Softball
Today (Saturday, May 16) is graduation day for the Bowling Green State University Class of 2020. Normally, the BGSU softball team recognizes its seniors in ceremonies at the final home game of the season. Obviously, this year's group of seniors did not have the opportunity to be recognized in person at Meserve Field. Since we couldn't all be together to honor these five student-athletes in person, we'd like to take a few moments to list their accolades and achievements here. Thanks to Taylor Blevins, Summer Callahan, Logan Everett, Evelyn Loyola and Madi McCoy for all you've done for BGSU and the Falcon Softball Family!
