6. Kate Achter (2004 - 2008)

Originally from Oregon, Ohio, Kate Achter was a driving force behind some of the most successful teams in BGSU women's basketball history.

A four year starter, Achter was a part of a senior class in 2008 that went a combined 108-23 during their tenure at BGSU, while also going 57-7 in MAC regular season play. Their remarkable team success included a historic run to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. That 2006-07 team won 31 games, which set school and MAC records for victories in a season.

Achter was the MAC Player of the Year as a senior in 2008 and First Team All-MAC, after earning Second Team All-MAC the previous two seasons. She also was named to the MAC All-Tournament Team three times in her four years, including in 2005, when she earned MAC Tournament MVP honors.

Achter is the Falcons' all-time leader in assists (688), free throws made (551), and free throws attempted (718). She also ranks fifth all-time in school history in scoring with 1,580 career points, and is the only player in program history with over 1,000 points and 600 assists.

Post collegiately, Achter has carved out a strong career coaching women's basketball. She is beginning her fifth year as the head coach at Loyola (Chicago), posting improved win totals in each season she has been there, culminating in a 15-14 record in 2019-20.
