THE FALCONS – A QUICK OVERVIEW
• The Falcons are 2-1 on the young season. BGSU posted double-digit wins over St. Bonaventure and Wright State, before falling to #9/12 Indiana, 96-61, on Thursday night in Bloomington.
• Head coach Robyn Fralick and her staff welcomed back a total of 10 student-athletes from last year's team. That group includes four starters from the 2021-22 season, plus a fifth player who started in 2020-21 before missing all of '21-22 due to injury.
• Last season, the Falcons – despite losing nearly 75 player-games to injury – won 17 games and advanced to national postseason play for the second-straight season. BGSU went 17-16 overall and 10-10 in Mid-American Conference play, and the Falcons were selected to participate in the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI). BG went 2-1 in that tourney, finishing the '21-22 season with a victory.
• Kadie Hempfling returned for her fifth year with the Falcons after starting all 33 games last winter. Nyla Hampton and Amy Velasco made 32 and 30 starts, respectively, while Elissa Brett started 26 contests in 2021-22.
• BGSU's top-five scorers from a year ago – Hempfling (11.7 ppg), Velasco (10.8), Brett (10.7), Morgan Sharps (9.5) and Hampton (8.4) – all returned. Brett paced last year's team in rebounding (6.0 rpg), while Jocelyn Tate (6.3 ppg, 4.9 rpg) was second on the team in that category.
• Other returnees from last year's squad include Sophie Dziekan (2.5 ppg) and Olivia Hill (0.8 ppg).
• Jasmine Clerkley played in the first three games of '21-22 before missing the remainder of the season due to injury, while Lexi Fleming was injured prior to the start of the season and missed the entire '21-22 campaign.
• Fleming was a full-time starter in the 2020-21 season, when she was named MAC Freshman of the Year.
• Fleming, as mentioned earlier, made her return to the floor at St. Bonaventure, coming off the bench to play nearly 15 minutes and score four points.
• Five newcomers, including a pair of transfers, joined the 10 returnees. Allison Day played four seasons at Loyola Chicago, where she started 97 games and had totals of 1,139 points and 645 rebounds.
• Payton Moore is also in her first season with the Falcons, but her fifth as a collegian. Moore played in 78 games, starting 60, at Anderson (Ind.) University, where she had 1,111 career points along with 701 rebounds.
• Three freshman have joined the Falcons. That group includes Jasmine Fearne (Cairns, Australia), Emily Siesel (New Washington, Ohio) and Jaci Tubergen (Hudsonville, Mich.)
• Three games into the season, Brett leads the Falcons in both scoring and rebounding, with 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Hampton has 12.7 ppg and a team-leading 4.0 steals per contest, with Day averaging 11.0 ppg and 5.3 rpg.
• Brett, Day, Hampton, Sharps and Tate each have started all three games this season.
A QUICK LOOK AT THE SCREAMING EAGLES
• Southern Indiana, like BGSU, is 2-1 on the season. In the program's first season as an NCAA Division I program, the Screaming Eagles opened the season with an 87-39 win against Oakland City, then followed that up with an 88-75 victory over Western Illinois. On Tuesday (Nov. 15), USI fell at Northern Illinois, 61-53.
• Meredith Raley has 15.7 points per game (in 17.3 minutes per game) to pace three double-digit scorers. Raley is 6-of-7 from the three-point line this season. Hannah Haithcock and Vanessa Shafford have 14.0 and 13.0 ppg, respectively.
• Head coach Rick Stein, in his 24th year at his alma mater, welcomed back 14 players, including four starters, from a year ago. The Screaming Eagles were picked to finish seventh in the Ohio Valley Conference in the preseason poll.

• The Falcons and Southern Indiana will be meeting for the first time.
DOWN THE ROAD
• Following the USI game, the Falcons will return home to meet Northern Kentucky on Wednesday (Nov. 23), in a 2:00 p.m. start at the Stroh Center. That game will be streamed on ESPN+.
