Women’s Soccer (1:00 Class)

Though they’re only been around for 13 years, the women’s soccer team here at BGSU has already had some very successful seasons, and is primed to have continued success well into BGSU’s second century of existence. The women’s team has an all time varsity record of 117-130-26 for a winning percentage of .476; they are 60-66-16 in the MAC for a conference winning percentage of.479. They won the MAC regular season title in 2005 and have made nine MAC tournament appearances. They also have two MAC tournament titles and are an impressive 11-6-5 in the MAC tournament overall.

The Women's Soccer team is currently coached by Andy Richards (Above), a native of England, and in his ten seasons as head coach he has posted an overall record of 98-96-22. Our group chose to do our project on the women’s soccer team because even with the short history they have shown a lot of potential and have some stable leadership under Coach Richards. Even though they weren’t our first choice we get to witness the foundation of their program come together and we get to witness the start of something potentially very special. There have already been numerous star athletes come through the program and the team looks more and more promising by the year. Just in the past six years the women have won two MAC tournament titles and have made two NCAA tournament appearances. Even though they are 0-2 in the tournament, they have paved the way for future success by overcoming the program’s overall inexperience. The Falcons seem primed to make a run at dominance in the MAC and to have success for years to come.

Members of Group include: Kyle Hess, Khiry Hills, and David Ryan Mullholand
