Welcome Back, Falcon Family

These are words that we have all longed to say and I am thrilled for the opportunity to do just that for fall 2021 — welcoming you all back to campus for another year of in-person Falcon Athletics!

As you will learn from the features included in this edition of the ‘RollAlong!’ digital magazine, we are off and running with plans for 100% capacity at all athletics events starting this fall. Whether you are excited to see our championship soccer teams compete on the pitch, Falcon Volleyball attempt another historic run at Stroh, or BG Football to continue their climb back to the top of the MAC at The Doyt, we are ready for you to join us. In fact, we hope you bring a friend!

While challenging in every way, the 2021 academic year provided some incredible bright spots in the history of our athletics program at BGSU. Specifically, 

• A 3.42 cumulative GPA for all student-athletes — the HIGHEST EVER
• 164 Academic All-Conference selections — the MOST EVER
• Six regular season or MAC Tournament Championships – the MOST SINCE 1982
• A 2nd place finish in the MAC’s Jacoby Standings (women’s competitive success) – the HIGHEST SINCE 2007
• Three MAC Coaches of the Year in Danijela Tomic (Volleyball), Robyn Fralick (Women’s Basketball), and Eric Nichols (Men’s Soccer)
• Finishing as only 1 of 3 schools IN THE NATION with Volleyball, Women’s Soccer, and Men’s Soccer advancing to the NCAA Tournament
• The commitment of our fans and donors to help raise more than $1 million for our Falcon Club Scholarship & Success Fund — the MOST EVER, which goes to support our annual $6.7 million grant-in-aid commitment
• And a myriad of individual academic and competitive recognitions and championships from across our athletics program … this was a GREAT YEAR TO BE A FALCON!

While these are incredible accomplishments, the fact that we were not able to attain them together with the full Falcon Family present has us hungry for more. We are proud, yet not satisfied, by the success of the last 12 months, and look forward to you joining this year’s journey as we continue to ‘Win it R.I.G.H.T.’ for BGSU. 

I look forward to seeing you all soon and hope you will take the opportunity to reach out if I, or a member of my staff, can ever help. Your passion and feedback are critical to our success, and you can provide it by filling out the Be Heard form.

Go Falcons, Ay Ziggy!
