Golfers gear up for Piper Intercollegiate tournament
By
The BG men's golf team will play a litany of tournaments scheduled for all over the country and even into Puerto Rico - but they only play one in the Bowling Green. That tournament, the John Piper Intercollegiate, will be played at Stone Ridge Golf Club on Monday and Tuesday.
Preparations for Minnesota game start early
By
The kickoff for the home opener vs. Minnesota is at 7:30 p.m., but Jim Elsasser and other members of BGSU Athletics will be arriving at 8 a.m. to prepare for the big day. "We'll be there at 8 a.m. getting everything ready, making sure everything is perfect for game time," said Elsasser, assistant athletic director for internal affairs.
Halm, Luther stabilize middle for Falcon volleyball
By
Don't expect BG to get beat in the middle of the court often this season. Especially if middle hitters Kendra Halm and Shari Luther continue to play like they did last past weekend in Florida. Luther and Halm were the catalysts to a 2-1 second place tournament finish in the Florida State Invitational while both were named to the All-Tournament team.
Mazzarella in his element as rugby coach
By
Tony Mazzarella could not have been more in his element. As the sun descended over the horizon and late summer shadows engulfed the rugby field, the first year coach was busy moving through various groups of players barking out last-minute instructions and making corrections where he saw fit.
A rematch one year in the making
By
It's been a shade over one year since BG stunned Minnesota at the Metrodome in the season opener, and the roads both teams have traveled have been markedly different. For the Falcons, the 32-31 victory in overtime over the Golden Gophers propelled them to an 8-5 record - their best in three years.
It's a game worth attending
By
Tomorrow's finally the day it all comes together. Unless you've been living under a rock, which hopefully you haven't, you already know the circumstances. They're definitely unique. Minnesota of the Big Ten is coming here to play your Falcons in a rematch of last season's opening night shocker.
