For her career, she has contributed 681 assists while dishing 230 this season. Achter now owns two of the top five single season assist tallies and is the only Falcon with the particular claim to fame.


Achter and the 2008 MAC Tournament:
* Finished the March 11 quarterfinal contests against Kent State with 11 assists, including 10 in the first half. Those 11 assists are one of the top seven outings in the tournament - Michelle Burden (KSU) set the record in 1991 with her 14 assists versus Miami. Three other MAC women's basketball student-athletes have recorded 12 contributors while Achter joins Ball State assistant coach Kelsey Corbin and BGSU Hall of Famer Paulette Backstrom at 11.

* In that 85-57 quarterfinal win over Kent State, Achter nearly double-doubled with nine pts. and 11 assists. She also went on to accumulate four steals, three rebounds and a steal.

* In the semi-finals versus Ohio she had 11 points, seven rebounds and five assists.


* She is part of only the seventh senior class in MAC women's basketball history to win more than 100 games. Furthermore, along with classmate Whitney Taylor, holds the record for most wins (male or female) in a four-year career in the Mid-American Conference. She will graduate with a 108-23 (.824) overall record at BGSU.

* Has been recognized as the MAC POW four times in 2007-08 and has won the award six times throughout career.

* Named the 2008 MAC Player of the Year as well as a First Team All-MAC selection. Has earned All-MAC honors in each of her four seasons with BGSU. Twice ('06 and '07) she was named to the second team and also earned all-freshman accolades. Additionally, she is a three time MAC All-Tournament selection as well as the 2005 Tournament MVP.

* Due to four trips to the postseason, including three NCAA Tournament and one WNIT showings, Achter has never ended her basketball season earlier that March 19 in any given year. She will graduate as a member of the only MAC Class of 2008 to have at least one postseason win on her basketball resume.
