The BGSU women’s basketball team defeated Valparaiso at home on Sunday 70-60.
This marks the second straight season-opening win for the Falcons, as they defeated Cleveland State in the 2019 opener. The win also marks what Head Coach Robyn Fralick hopes to be a good start to a better year than 2019, when the Falcons started solidly but fell off during conference play and ended with a 10-21 record.
s“I was really proud of our effort,” Fralick said. “We won because of our defense, we won today because we got some key defensive stops.
The Crusaders came in a veteran group with three returning starters after a 17-12 year last winter, and looked poised to be even better this year, but the much younger Falcons held the upper hand.
