A first-team All-Ohio Division I selection, Justinger joins the Falcons for the

“We are ecstatic to have Miriam join our program,” said BG head coach Jennifer Roos.
“She is a natural fit for our system and our culture at Bowling Green. Not only
is she a great competitor who will continue to excel on the court, but she is an
outstanding student with high character. I fully anticipate Miriam to make a
positive and immediate impact in our community and with our loyal fan base.”
Justinger, a 6-0 guard/forward, averaged 19.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists

pick.
Justinger finished her career with 1,109 career points. She recently played in the
Ohio North-South Division I-II All-Star Game and in the Ohio-Indiana Border Wars
All-Star Game.
Justinger originally signed to play at Kent State, but was released from that
commitment when Bob Lindsey was relieved of his coaching duties.
