Pontius and Lauren Prochaska in 2009).
Halfhill is averaging 13.3 points per game this season, ranking second on the team (behind Rogers). She
is 14th in the MAC in scoring, and ranks among the league’s top-10 players in assists per game, with

contest. She is eighth in the league in scoring and ninth in rebounds.
Rogers is second in the conference in field-goal percentage, having hit 156-of-292 shots (53.4 percent)

She has reached double digits in the scoring column 23 times this season.
She ranks 20th in BGSU history in scoring with 1,196 points.
A redshirt sophomore, Donovan is averaging 10.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season, ranking
