Berg joins Wolfbauer on Scholar All-Region Team
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (BGSU Strategic Communications) -- Bowling Green State University women's soccer standout Madi Wolfbauer has earned yet another honor. On Thursday (May 21) afternoon, Wolfbauer was named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America Second Team.
Wolfbauer is just the second women's soccer student-athlete ever to earn Scholar All-America honors from the organization.
Lili Berg joined Wolfbauer on the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-North/Central Region Team, which was announced one hour prior to the Scholar All-America Team announcement.
Wolfbauer, a native of Canton, Mich., led BGSU in scoring this spring. An All-Mid-American Conference First-Team honoree, she had five goals and 10 points in eight matches this season, her first on the pitch with the Falcons. All five goals came in a three-match span, and she became the first BGSU player with back-to-back multiple-goal games in over a decade. Wolfbauer sat out the 2019 season due to injury after transferring from the University of Illinois
Berg, who hails from New Berlin, Wis., had a miniscule 0.38 goals-against average, having allowed only three goals in nearly 744 minutes of action this season. In eight starts, the first-year Falcon kept four clean sheets and played over 70 minutes in two other shutout wins, exiting those contests with BGSU ahead by at least three goals in each case. Berg, an All-MAC Second-Team selection, was in her first season with the Falcons after transferring to BGSU from Ohio State.
Wolfbauer, a marketing major at BGSU, has a 3.470 cumulative GPA through the just-completed Spring 2021 semester. Berg, a psychology major, maintains a 3.900 cumulative GPA.
The Falcons enjoyed tremendous success on the field as well as in the classroom yet again in 2020-21. BGSU went 6-1-1 overall and 5-1-0 in MAC play, outscoring opponents by a 17-3 count this spring, and the Falcons tied for first in the entire nation in shutout percentage (.750), recording six shutouts in eight matches. The Falcons earned the MAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Championships for the third consecutive season.
BGSU is 47-19-8 overall, 31-7-1 in MAC regular-season matches and 38-8-3 in all games vs. conference foes since the start of the 2017 season.
Since the beginning of the 2018 campaign, the Falcons are 34-12-7Â overall, 25-3-0 in MAC regular-season action and 30-3-2 in all games vs. league opposition.
