In November of 2004, senior Kristy Coppes continued her assault on the BGSU record books with a hat trick in the MAC Tournament semifinal win over Western Michigan ... Coppes shattered the BGSU single-season goals record ... she had 18 goals to better the old mark by six ... Tracy Gleixner had set the record with 12 goals in 1998, and Coppes matched that mark as both a freshman (2001) and sophomore (2002), before breaking the record in '04 ... she was injured late in the Falcons' league championship-match win over Central Michigan, and was forced to miss the NCAA Tournament contest at Ohio State.
