THE OPENING TIP
• The Falcons are off to a 1-3 start to the season after a narrow 77-75 loss to George Mason on Saturday afternoon. BG posted a 32-point win over East Tennessee State in the season opener (Nov. 11) before dropping a 71-60 decision against Horizon League favorite IUPUI (Nov. 14) and a 94-63 result on the road against #21/25 Ohio State (Nov. 17) before falling to Mason.
• Head coach Robyn Fralick, in her fourth season at the helm of the Falcons, returned 10 players off of last year's BGSU roster.
• The Falcons, after going 10-21 overall and 3-15 in the MAC two years ago, were picked to finish 11th in the 12-team league in 2020-21, according to the preseason coaches' poll. BG proceeded to post a 14-4 MAC record to win the regular-season crown. Then, the Orange and Brown defeated Eastern Michigan and Buffalo in the MAC Tournament in Cleveland, before falling to Central Michigan in the championship game.
• BGSU advanced to the WNIT, and the Falcons finished with an overall record of 21-8. BG tied for the second-best turnaround in the nation, with an improvement of +12.0 games.
• This season, the Falcons were picked to finish second in the MAC in the preseason coaches' poll.
• Liberty brings a 4-1 record into Sunday's game. The Lady Flames defeated host Navy, 63-42, on Saturday.
KATE ACHTER. KADIE HEMPFLING. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE LIST.
• In the first five decades (give or take) of BGSU women's basketball, only one player had amassed both 500 rebounds and 300 assists in her career. Now, there are two.
• Kate Achter had been the only player to achieve both of those milestones. After only two and one-half seasons in a BG uniform, though, junior Kadie Hempfling joined Achter on that list. Hempfling reached both the 500-rebound and 300-assist milestones in January of 2021. Entering the Liberty game, she now has 641 boards and 374 dimes.
• Achter (2004-08), a member of the BGSU Athletics Hall of Fame, had a school-record 688 assists and exactly 500 rebounds in her storied Falcon career.
KADIE HEMPFLING. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE LIST.
• Junior Kadie Hempfling's final rebound of the Falcons' win over Buffalo in the MAC Tournament was the 600th of her career. She is the only player in school history to have grabbed 600 boards and dished out 300 assists.
• Hempfling currently ranks eighth on the BGSU career assists list.
MADIS3N PARK3R
• Madisen Parker went 2-for-3 from three-point range vs. Ohio State, and hit another triple vs. GMU. Parker now has made 207 long-distance shots, and sits in fifth place on the BGSU career list for three-pointers made.
• Parker is nine triples behind fourth-place Liz Honegger (216 treys from 2003-07). The legendary Lauren Prochaska holds the school record with 310 tri-lighters during her Falcon tenure (2007-11).
CAPTAINS
• Molly Dever, Lexi Fleming, Kadie Hempfling and Madisen Parker are the captains of the 2021-22 Falcons. "As we went through the process (of naming captains), it was clear that those four are really admired by their teammates," said Robyn Fralick. "I love that they are a very complementary group; they really bring different strengths. Together, they really have a good pulse on the team."
A QUICK LOOK AT THE LADY FLAMES
• Liberty enters Sunday's game with a 4-1 record after a 63-42 win over Navy. The Lady Flames have also posted wins over Belmot Abbey, MAC favorite Ohio and James Madison, while suffering a narrow 53-51 loss to Memphis. LU head coach Carey Green enters Sunday with 499 wins during his 23 seasons at the school.
• Mya Berkman leads the team in both scoring and rebounding, with 14.2 ppg and 8.4 rpg, while Bridgette Rettstatt has 8.6 ppg and 6.6 rpg to rank second on the team in both categories. The 2020-21 Lady Flames went 19-8 overall and 12-4 in ASUN play. Green welcomed back 11 letterwinners, including two starters, from that club.
THE SERIES
• The Falcons are meeting Liberty for the first time this weekend. BGSU is 8-5 against current members of the ASUN. BGSU has gone 2-0 vs. both Jacksonville and Lipscomb, 1-0 against FGCU and 3-5 vs. Eastern Kentucky through the years.
DOWN THE ROAD
• Following Sunday's Liberty tussle, the Falcons will return home for the next two games. BGSU will face Valparaiso (Dec. 5) and Notre Dame College (Dec. 12) on back-to-back Sundays at the Stroh Center, with each contest set for a 2:00 p.m. tip..
