THE IMPACT

* Won school-record 12 matches to start 2011 * Defeated previously unbeaten Michigan St. in first match in the Stroh Center * Program’s first win over ranked opponent against #13 BYU on Aug. 31, 2013 * Won Best Western Falcon Plaza Invitational in 2011 * Went 8-1 at home in 2012 * 127% attendance increase in 2013 over the final season in Stroh Center * Average attendance has increased in every year in the Stroh Center

BGSU stunned previously unbeaten Michigan State in four sets in the first varsity athletics event ever held in the Stroh Center. The crowd of 2,961 was the largest to ever watch a Falcon home volleyball match.


HISTORY IS MADE Even before the Stroh Center was complete, the NCAA accepted Bowling Green’s bid to serve as a host for the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament. Baylor, the first men’s or women’s basketball team to go 40-0, began its run through the tournament at the Stroh Center and National Player of the Year Brittney Griner became just the second women’s player to dunk in NCAA Tournament history, slamming one home in traffic in the opening round. All three tournament games held in the Stroh Center were sell-outs.

GOING VIRAL

The ‘Stroh Center Rap’, a video created for the Stroh Center dedication on Sept. 9, 2011, featured the talents of BGSU students Mikey “Rosco” Blair and Rachel Willingham, along with donors Kermit Stroh, Larry Miles, Bill Frack, and Allen Schmidhorst. The video was featured nationally in a variety of places, including ESPN.com, and has been viewed well over 200,000 times.

D. CHRISTOPHER KINGSTON DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS THIRD YEAR

D. Christopher Kingston was named the 13th full-time Athletics Director at Bowling Green State University on June 9, 2013. The Falcons have had an unprecedented run of success with Kingston at the helm of the 18-team Intercollegiate Athletics program at BGSU. He has a tremendous vision and believes Falcon Athletics will continue to achieve at a high level academically, athletically and in the community. Academically, student-athletes had the strongest year ever in the history of Falcon athletics during the 2014-15 academic year. During the spring of 2015, BGSU student-athletes boasted a school-record 3.186 cumulative grade point average, setting a new standard. Sixty-four of BGSU’s studentathletes recorded a perfect 4.0 grade point average during the spring semester and 24 carry a perfect cumulative GPA for their collegiate career. More than 63 percent hold a 3.0 grade point average or better. Six of Bowling Green’s 18 teams posted a 3.50 combined GPA or better in the spring, led by a remarkable 3.96 grade point average from the men’s cross country team to give the program a 3.91 cumulative GPA. Women’s cross country had a 3.69 spring team GPA, followed by women’s basketball (3.55 GPA), tennis (3.54 GPA), women’s golf (3.50 GPA) and gymnastics (3.50 GPA). Volleyball posted a 3.48 grade point average and softball had a 3.43. In total, 15 of BGSU’s 18 teams had a 3.0 GPA or better during the spring semester and 15 also have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. The Athletics Department also posted some of its best Academic Progress Rate [APR] scores in history. Eight teams posted their best APR scores since the rating system began for the 2004-05 season. BGSU had seven teams post a perfect single-year rate, while 11 of BGSU’s 18 sports posted scores equal to or better than the year prior. Throughout Kingston’s second year at Bowling Green in 2014-15, several notable accomplishments took place. Richaun Holmes became the Falcons’ first NBA draft pick since 1999 when he was taken by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 37th overall pick. Holmes represented the first player taken in the draft from the Mid-American Conference since 2003. Two Falcon baseball players were also drafted following the season. Trey Keegan (14th, Atlanta Braves) became the Falcons’ highest draft pick since 2005. Brian Bien (31st, Kansas City Royals) was also selected, marking the first time since 2011 in which two BGSU baseball players have been drafted in the same season. Bowling Green football won the MAC East for the second consecutive season in 2014, while also winning the inaugural Raycom Media Camellia Bowl – their first bowl win since 2004. Brooke Pleger, Bowling Green’s first female three-time All-American, won the MAC Championship in the Hammer Throw and finished third at the NCAA Championships. Additionally, seven teams finished in the top half of the league during the 2014-15 season. Two of the most significant gifts in the history of Bowling Green State University were made to Falcon Athletics during Kingston’s tenure. BGSU received its largest single gift when the late Bill Frack announced his commitment of more than $20M in support of the men’s basketball program in April of 2014. Then BGSU Baseball Hall of Famer Gary Haas made a $1 million commitment to the Falcon baseball program in May of 2014, the largest single gift made by a former student-athlete of the program. In the most recent fiscal year completed on June 30, 2015, Falcon Club membership rose by more than 4%, and total annual contributions to Athletics rose by more than 6%. Kingston made several important and impressive hires during his second year on the job, including the announcement of alumnus Michael

Huger returning to Northwest Ohio to take the reins of the men’s basketball program. Additionally, Kingston hired Sarah Willis to lead the Falcon softball program and Matt Ense to head the women’s swimming and diving program. Prior to accepting the Athletics Director role at BGSU, Kingston spent more than two years at North Carolina State University, first as the Senior Associate Director of Athletics before being elevated to the role of Executive Senior Associate Director of Athletics. At N.C. State, Kingston was directly responsible for the day-to-day operations of the football and men’s basketball programs. Additionally, he oversaw external initiatives, athletic branding and multimedia rights. He also supervised student services and media relations, and was integral in the development of the athletic department’s first leadership academy. Kingston also served as the athletics department’s liaison to the Wolfpack Club and was a member of the Intercollegiate Athletics Cabinet. Prior to his time at N.C. State, Kingston spent four years as the Associate Director of Athletics for Operations and then the Special Assistant to the Director of Athletics/Director of Annual Giving for the U.S. Military Academy. His most recent position at West Point included handling the daily operations of the A-Club and directing the Army Athletic Association’s annual fund-raising campaign. He also worked with each of the department’s 25 Division I intercollegiate teams with regards to their specific fund-raising accounts. In that capacity, Kingston organized the Athletic Director’s Tailgate and the home and away football donor events. He helped integrate premium courtside and rinkside seating at basketball and hockey, respectively. With direct oversight of the ticket office, he led the transition of a multiyear agreement with Paciolan as the Athletic Association began to streamline customer service with digital ticketing. Kingston was part of the association’s external operations team, which helped to synchronize the ticket office, A-Club and marketing efforts. Other day-to-day business for Kingston included sport supervision for the golf, gymnastics, men’s soccer and rifle teams. During his time at West Point, he served as a member of the NCAA Rifle Committee. Kingston is a 2010 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and the University of Texas’s McCombs School of Business. He also attended the Division 1A Athletic Director’s Institute in 2010, a “by invitation only” gathering of the most talented intercollegiate professionals. Kingston was instrumental in several coaching hires at the Army Athletic Association. He planned, organized and executed searches for head football, men’s basketball, men’s soccer and men’s golf coaches. Kingston was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence Corps upon graduation from the University of Central Florida in May, 1994. He retired from the U.S. Army in Sept., 2009. In addition to earning his bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida, Kingston got his master’s degree in leadership development and educational counseling from Long Island University prior to his initial assignment to West Point. Kingston and his wife, Stephanie, a native of Whiteville, N.C., have four children: Lakin, Christopher Jr., Luke, and Mackenzie.

DANIJELA TOMIC HEAD COACH FOURTH YEAR

BGSU Head Coach Danijela Tomic enters her fourth year at the helm in 2015 and has already made her impact on the volleyball program. In her first year with the Falcons, she took the team to heights never reached before, winning a match in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history and advancing to the second round. Tomic guided that 2012 team to a second place finish in the MidAmerican Conference regular season and then took the program on a magical run through the MAC Tournament that included five set victories in both the semifinals and championship. BGSU went on to face Yale in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and earned yet another five-set win before succumbing to No. 1-ranked Penn State in the second round. With a career record of 201-109 during a 10-year career that included seven seasons as the head coach at Florida International. She is 43-48 in three years at BGSU and 27-21 in MAC play during her tenure. BGSU has become a determined and tough-minded team under Tomic, winning 10 consecutive five-set matches at one point – three of which came during that 2012 postseason run. In 2013, the team earned yet another five-set victory, this time over No. 13 BYU – the first win over a ranked opponent in program history. Over the course of three years, BGSU has a 17-8 record in five-set matches under Tomic. In three years, Tomic’s teams have compiled an array of awards, including five first-team all-conference honors, a second-team all-conference honoree, a MAC All-Freshman team selection, two members of the MAC All-Tournament Team, the MAC Tournament Most Valuable Player, 13 MAC Player of the Week honors and three MAC Scholar-Athlete of the Week awards. Academically, the program has excelled under Tomic. The team earned public recognition by the NCAA for an APR rate that ranks among the top-10 percent in the country in the sport of volleyball. Twenty-one Falcons have been named either Academic All-MAC or honorable mention Academic All-MAC in three years. As well, Erica Fullenkamp was named second team Academic All-District. Finally, the program has earned the AVCA Team Academic Award for 14 consecutive seasons – the second-longest streak in the country. Prior to her arrival at Bowling Green, Tomic was a three-time Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year at Florida International. In seven years as head coach at FIU, she had a record of 158-61. A 1999 graduate of Arkansas-Little Rock, Tomic was named Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year in 2006, 2008, and 2009, guiding the Panthers to the NCAA Tournament in each of those last two seasons. The 2009 team set a program record by going 32-4, which included a 17-0 mark in conference play.

Tomic took over at FIU in 2005 and made an immediate impact as her team improved by 12 wins over the previous season and reached the SBC Tournament as the No. 6 seed after missing out in two of the previous three years. In seven years at FIU, her players earned six AVCA All-American awards, two Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year honors, and 24 AllSun Belt Conference awards. Under her tutelage, one athlete was named AVCA South Region Freshman of the Year. Tomic also demands well-rounded student-athletes as her team earned the Dr. Paul D. Gallagher Community Service Award in 2008, presented to the FIU team that has gone the extra mile in performing community service throughout the year. She had 20 selections to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner’s List (grade point average of 3.5 or better) and 27 selections to the Sun Belt Conference Academic Honor Roll. Prior to her time at FIU, Tomic was an assistant coach at LSU during the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Before that, she spent six years as an assistant coach at UALR from 1997-03. She played at UALR from 1995-97 as an outside hitter, right side hitter, and setter, helping to lead the team to the 1996 NCAA Tournament. She was named Most Valuable Player of the SBC Tournament that year and recorded a tournament record 32 digs during the championship match in 1996. A graduate of the NCAA Women Coaches Academy in 2013, Tomic is also a member of The Alliance of Women Coaches. Tomic replaced legendary coach Denise Van De Walle at Bowling Green, who served 29 years as the Falcons’ head coach before announcing her retirement. Van De Walle is the winningest coach in Mid-American Conference history, posting a 527-378 career mark and earning four MAC Coach of the Year awards. A native of Catici, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Tomic graduated from UALR in 1999 with a degree in health education.

RODNEI SANTOS ASSISTANT COACH THIRD YEAR

Rodnei Santos begins his third year as an assistant coach for the volleyball program in 2015. He came to BGSU after serving two years as a volunteer assistant coach at MidAmerican Conference opponent Central Michigan. In Santos’ first two years at BGSU, the program has seen its share of high points. In 2013, BGSU defeated No. 13 BYU – the program’s first win over a ranked opponent. The Falcons went 10-6 in Mid-American Conference play that year to finish second in the MAC East Division. The program also earned a four-set victory over Battle of I-75 rival Toledo in 2014. Prior to joining the staff at Bowling Green, Santos oversaw the development of the middle blockers and right side hitters and helped Central Michigan to a MAC Tournament Championship in 2011, the first in the program’s history. Under his tutelage, CMU led the MAC in kills in 2012 and tied for second in blocks in 2011. Santos also served as a recruiting and travel technician, was the video exchange coordinator and did database management. Santos has also served as a lead coach for Gold Medal Squared, the premier provider of volleyball camps and volleyball clinics designed to improve the quality of volleyball players and coaches. He has worked as head coach of 16’s regional team and 15’s national team for CT Impact Volleyball Club and was a junior varsity coach at John Jay High School. A native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Santos came to the United States to play volleyball at the collegiate level, spending a year at Brigham Young before transferring to Pepperdine. He was named to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) All-Academic Team three times and ranked fourth in the country in blocks as a junior, finishing ninth all-time at Pepperdine in career blocks. He earned the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar first team honor twice.

LAURA DEBRULER ASSISTANT COACH FIRST YEAR

Former first team All-American Laura DeBruler was named

a volleyball assistant coach on Feb. 3, 2015. DeBruler came to BGSU after spending two seasons as an assistant coach at Western Illinois. A 2009 first team All-American, DeBruler is Illinois’ alltime leader in kills with 1,833. She was an eight-time Big Ten Player of the Week, a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and a two-time All-Big Ten performer. She led Illinois to three consecutive appearances in the NCAA Sweet 16 and finished her career as the school’s all-time attacks leader (4,806) and eighth on the all-time digs list (1,117) to go with her 1,833 career kills. Ironically, DeBruler made her collegiate debut against Bowling Green, recording 28 kills, 11 digs and a .323 attack percentage in a four-set loss to the Falcons.

DeBruler went on to play professionally in Switzerland for NUC Volleyball Club, competing in National A League, the highest in the country.

DeBruler then spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Western Illinois, helping to guide the team to the Summit League Conference Tournament in 2013 for the first time in six years. In her job with the Leathernecks, she worked in all aspects of the program including recruiting, training and development, scouting and monitoring academic progress.

2014 RECAP


THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE the mid-american conference

THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 70th year of service to our students Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding its commitment to neutral site post-season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a four-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game through the 2019 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a five year contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC recently served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and will also serve as host of the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction. In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution. This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings longterm security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year. ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, and select men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN will establish on-campus production capabilities that will provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN3. This will open up nearly 92 million households from ESPN3 for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced a four-year sub-licensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2018-19 season. Last season the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Northern Illinois (Boca Raton Bowl), Bowling Green (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl), Toledo (GoDaddy Bowl), Central Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl) and Western Michigan (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl). In December of 2013, former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC studentathlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). During the 2014 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. Mack’s selection was the highest-ever for the Buffalo program and the second highest ever selection for a MAC student. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Boca Raton, Popeyes Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. The Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Popeyes Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. During the 2014 football season, NIU won the Marathon MAC Football Championship for the third time in the last four years. Kent State safety Jordan Italiano and Bowling Green kicker Tyler Tate were named CoSIDA Capital One First Team Academic All-Americans, while Central Michigan quarterback Cooper Rush added Second Team recognition. Western Michigan freshman running back Jarvion Franklin was named USA Today Freshman All-American. Toledo senior center Greg Mancz was named by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) as Second Team All-American. The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame named 25 MAC students as members of the 2015 Hampshire Honor Society, which recognizes college football players that maintained a 3.20 GPA or better throughout their college career. Four more MAC students were drafted into the NFL, including MAC Defensive Player of the Year and Miami defensive back Quinten Rollins by the Green Bay Packers in the second round. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed the No. 2 seed Buffalo Bulls win its first ever MAC Tournament Championship. The MAC had six programs invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Buffalo; NIT-Central Michigan; CIT-Bowling Green, Kent State and Western Michigan; CBI-Eastern Michigan). Kent State advanced to the CIT Quarterfinals with wins over Middle Tennessee State and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. During the 2014-15 academic year, Akron men’s soccer team won its 11th MAC Championship, third consecutive and seventh overall in the

FALCONS IN THE HALL OF FAME On July 21, 2006, former Falcon

volleyball standouts Carlyn Esslinger and Megan McGuire joined an elite few when

The 1999 Falcons were the most-improved team in the MAC, finishing with a 21-12 record. BGSU went 12-6 in MAC play and advanced to the MAC Tournament’s semifinal round.

Miscellaneous

they were inducted into the BGSU Athletic Hall of Fame. Esslinger, a two-time All-MAC first-teamer, joined Linda Popovich, Tammy Schiller and Lisa Mika as the fourth Falcon volleyball player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. She holds the all-time record for most attack attempts and second most kills in Falcon history. After completing her basketball career, McGuire joined the Falcon volleyball squad and helped lead them to their first MAC title in 1989.

Mika, a native of Flossmoor. Ill., was a

four-time All-MAC selection from 1988-91. Mika is the Falcons’ all-time leader with 569 total blocks, including 156 solo rejections. She also finds herself ranked in the top five in four offensive categories.

Popovich and Schiller, obviously, also

had incredible success as BGSU student-athletes. Popovich capped her brilliant four-year career, both on and off the court, by earning the 1990 Walter Byers Scholarship. That award is given to the top male and female

She twice participated at the U.S. Olympic Festival, and – like Popovich – still ranks at or near the top of numerous Falcon record lists.

FALCONs playing nationally

ROMMECK COMPETES WITH NATIONAL TRAINING TEAM

When the Falcons’ 2001 volleyball season came to an end that November, one Falcon team member’s

season was far from finished. Caty Rommeck was selected to the USA Women’s National Training Team, and headed to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., in January of 2002. The team consisted of 12 players picked from a tryout held in San Diego, Calif., after the Final Four in mid-December, 2001. Players vying to make the team included members of the last U.S. National Team as well as U.S. Professional Volleyball. “I am thrilled for Caty to have this opportunity,” said BGSU head coach Denise Van De Walle at the time of Rommeck’s selection. “To train at the Olympic Training Center with Toshi (coach Toshiaka Yoshida) and the other players selected is a chance of a lifetime.” In 2001, her senior season, Rommeck earned All-MAC First-Team honors for the second consecutive year, and also was named to the All-Mideast Region Team. She became just the fourth Falcon player to earn all-region honors in the history of the program, and the first in a decade. Rommeck’s name can be found throughout the BGSU record lists. Rommeck capped off her successful three-year career at BGSU by leading the Falcons to a third consecutive 21-win season. She led the MAC by a wide margin in kills per game and was second in the league in blocks per game.

FALCONS AT THE U.S. OLYMPIC FESTIVAL Being selected to play in any national or international competition is certainly a goal of many collegiate athletes. BG’s Tammy Schiller realized that goal in the summer of 1990 when she participated in the U.S. Olympic Festival in Minneapolis, and again in 1991 when she competed in the games in Los Angeles. The middle hitter assisted the South team to a 3-1 record en route to the 1991 gold medal. She played in all four of her team’s matches. In nine games, Schiller registered 14 kills for a hitting percentage of .297. She also recorded 19 digs and nine blocks. Schiller had a strong outing in the gold-medal match against the West in which the South came back to win 5-15, 13-15, 15-11, 15-12, 15-8. The only team to defeat Schiller’s South squad was BG head coach Denise Van De Walle’s bronze-medal winning East unit, which came away with a thrilling 15-11, 9-15, 10-15, 16-14, 15-10 victory. Van De Walle, who was selected to coach the U.S. Junior National Women’s Team at the NORCECA World Championships in 1992, also coached the West at the USOF in 1993. Her squad was the only team to defeat the eventual goldmedal winners that year as well. Schiller struck silver in 1990 as a member of the West where she led her team with a .298 attack percentage, collecting 23 kills in four matches. The West team went undefeated in pool play, but lost to the North in four games in the goldmedal match. With Schiller’s selection to compete in the Festival in 1990, she became only the second BG volleyball player to earn a spot on a Festival roster. That same year, Schiller and teammate Linda Popovich became the first BG players to earn All-Mideast honors. Popovich was the initial Falcon to compete in the Festival, earning the honor in 1987.

LINDA POPOVICH

Linda Popovich, one of the finest student-athletes to go through the University, capped a brilliant fouryear career as a student in 1990 by earning the Walter Byers Scholarship, and as an athlete by being named the “Most Valuable Player” in the MAC. A 1995 BGSU Hall of Fame inductee, Popovich concluded her academic career at BG with a 3.95 GPA majoring in political science and economics. BGSU’s representative at numerous student symposiums and programs, she earned the Byers Award which is given annually to the top male and female graduating seniors in the country. Byers Award candidates must have at least a 3.50 GPA, show evidence of superior character and leadership, and demonstrate that participation in athletics has been a positive influence on personal and intellectual development. In addition, Popovich, a setter, was a first-team Academic All-American each of her last two years at BG. A third-team Academic All-American as a sophomore, Popovich was the first BG athlete to earn GTE national academic honors three times and was only the fourth from a MAC institution. She is the only female in conference history to earn first-team national academic honors twice and was a three-time MAC All-Academic pick. On the court, Popovich earned all-MAC laurels four times, league freshman-of-the-year accolades in 1986, and MAC Player-of-the-Year honors in 1989. She established league career records for assists (4,460 - 17th on the NCAA career list at the time) and digs (1,246) and left BG holding five additional school records. Her career assist and ace totals still stand as school marks. Popovich played in every game of every match during her four-year career.
