20 Win Seasons

On February 12th, when we won a hard fought game at Eastern Michigan (with the help of an amazing show of support from our fans who made the short trek to Ypsilanti, outnumbering their fans 3 to 1!), it pushed our record to 20-4 overall – a MAC Record 8th CONSECUTIVE 20 WIN SEASON! BG, with our storied history and rich tradition, has more 20 win seasons than any other program in the MAC!

Currently, with our overall record now standing at 23-4, we have won at least 21 games in each of the last 8 seasons – and an astounding 23 wins or more in each of the last 7 seasons!
And even more impressive, over the last eight seasons, we have averaged 26 wins per year! After going 21-35 in the rebuilding phase of the program in his first two years, Coach Miller has gone 208-49 (.809 winning percentage) since then!

Twenty wins has long been a benchmark for successful programs - a goal that all teams hope to achieve come seasons’ end. Most players are lucky to achieve this mark once in their careers. Most coaches can count their total amount of 20 win seasons on one hand. Achieving a MAC record 8th straight 20-win season is a testament to not only Head Coach Curt Miller and staff, it is the legacy of a fantastic group of young women, and the unbelievable love and support of the BG Community and our fans!

Please come out this Saturday and see if we can add to that win total, as we take on Kent State for the East Division Championship! 12pm at Anderson Arena – hope to see you there!
