Lili Berg Named to Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week
November 02, 2021 | Women's Soccer
Nikki Cox earns honorable mention after the Falcons' win over Toledo
Bowling Green State University women's soccer standout Lili Berg has been named to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week, it was announced on Tuesday morning (Nov. 2). Nikki Cox earned honorable mention on this week's team.
Berg, a native of New Berlin, Wis. (Catholic Memorial), made six saves to earn a shutout victory as the Falcons topped arch-rival Toledo, 1-0 in overtime, to end the regular season. The win, combined with other outcomes around the league that (Thursday) afternoon, clinched the MAC regular-season championship or the Falcons for the fourth consecutive year.  Berg has now been a part of 14 shutouts in her 26 starts as a Falcon.
On the season, Berg has a GAA of 1.05, and that figure drops to just 0.54 in MAC matches. She finished second in the MAC in GAA in conference matches, and the Falcons tied for the league lead with seven clean sheets in the 11 MAC games.
Cox, a native of Granville, Ohio (Granville), scored six minutes into the OT period to give the Falcons that 1-0 victory over the Rockets. She has now scored the game-winning goal in each of BGSU's last two contests, and has five goals and 17 points on the season to rank second on the team in both categories. The GWG was the eighth of her BGSU career – but her first in overtime.
The Falcons (9-6-3, 8-2-1 MAC), by virtue of winning the regular-season title, will host the MAC Tournament semifinals and championship this week. Top-seeded BGSU faces number-four seed Buffalo on Thursday (Nov. 4), in a 4:00 p.m. start. The complete schedule and ticket information is below.
