DAY AND THE FALCONS
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE BGSU?
"I chose BGSU for a few reasons. The family atmosphere offered by the coaches and players was really important. The support from the community for women's basketball is also really cool. When I decided to transfer for my fifth year I just wanted a different experience that could help develop me as a player and prepare me to coach in the future which is exactly what BG WBB offers."
