There may be no busier time of the year as a staff than the home stretch of the season and tournament time, but I had to take a moment to send out a huge THANK YOU to all of the fans who made the trip up to Ypsilanti on Saturday to help us to an extremely important road win! Our crowd was INCREDIBLE! A sea of orange that stretched from our bench all the way to just behind the Eastern Michigan bench, filling the entire lower bowl! An unbelievable crowd, rewarded with an unbelievable effort from senior Lauren Prochaska. Her 37 points (2nd highest in BG history!) and 12 rebounds were only part of the story, as she was just as incredible at the defensive end, shutting down one of the best players in the league in Cassie Schrock (3 pts on 1/12 shooting, and she averages over 18 points a game!).
Our players respond to our fans and feed off their energy, and there is no doubt in my mind we never would have pulled out that tough road win if it weren’t for the amazing crowd support we had behind us! This was in no small part due to the efforts of several people, but I want to give a special thanks to friend and supporter Dennis Vereb, who was the brainchild behind the efforts to get a big crowd to support us in Ypsilanti. Thank you, Dennis, for such a successful endeavor, and assist in creating a crowd that carried us to a huge win!
With the home stretch upon us, we need YOUR support in the stands more than ever! There are just 5 regular season games left to see not only one of the greatest individual players in BGSU history, but one of the best senior classes to come through the program! Our remaining schedule:
- HOME vs Ohio on Wednesday, February 16th
- Away at Miami on Saturday, February 19th
- Away at Akron on Tuesday, February 22nd
- HOME vs Kent on Saturday, February 26th
- HOME vs Buffalo on Wednesday, March 2nd
Thanks again to all the fans that came out to support us at EMU, and to Dennis for making it happen! And, PLEASE, come on out and support us as we make a run at an unprecedented 7th straight divisional championship!
Roll Along,
Head Coach Curt Miller
