Ok so our team name is formally known as Team Awesome. We decided to research the history behind women’s soccer here at Bowling Green State University. Myself included (Nate Dudzik), Shawn Weimer, and Brennan Tilow all really didn’t know what sport we wanted to do at first. However, Brennan knew some players on the women’s team and we decided to go with that. I played soccer before switching to basketball and Brennan has been around soccer as well so it wasn’t like we didn’t have any knowledge going into the project. Women’s soccer didn’t begin in BG until the late 1990’s, so we didn’t have that much history to present on. However, noting the 1999 gold medal for the U.S. Olympic team, women’s soccer has had a place in U.S. history. Our presentation will start in 1997 when it first began at BGSU, and end with our current team in 2010 and the direction that head coach Andy Richards is taking our women’s soccer program.
Since the program is fairly new, it wasn’t all that difficult to obtain certain facts. However, certain media guides didn’t include a lot of women’s soccer until the 00’ decade. We didn’t have that much difficulty finding people to do our interviews. I was able to contact the first and former head coach for BGSU’s women’s soccer (i.e., Tom Piccirillo, above), Brennan was able to interview one of the girls that he knows on the team, and Shawn was able to interview former goalkeeper Erika Flanders. The only thing that we really are having difficulty on is finding enough information to truly suffice what we want to present. Unlike other major sports here, there really aren’t that many sources that have the history of women’s soccer like football or basketball. Media guides have sadly been some of our best sources, besides the interviews.
