The Falcons have their eyes set on history again this weekend as they try to break their home unbeaten streak.
BG has gone 10-0-1 at Cochrane Stadium in their last 11 game, with their last loss being last year’s season opener against Michigan State on Aug. 31, 2008.
The old streak, which they eclipsed last Sunday with a 1-0 defeat over Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne, was a 10 game streak (8-0-2) that was carried out between Sept. 11, 2005 and Sept. 1, 2006.
BG (3-2) also has their first weekend of just home games. The Falcons host St. Bonaventure (2-3) today at 5 p.m. and Youngstown State (2-2-1) Sunday at 1 p.m.
Coach Andy Richards’ team has all kinds of momentum coming into these games, especially with goalie Alexa Arsenault receiving the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week award for the second time in her BG career.
‘We are very proud,’ Richards said.
BG hasn’t played St. Bonaventure or Youngstown State in years so the team will have a pair of fresh new challenges for them.
‘[The] comfort level playing at home,’ Richards said.
Richards has the same goal as last weekend, and that is to go 2-0 in play again.
‘[We need to] play to our potential,’ Richards said. ‘It’s a great weekend to have great games.’
