The Bowling Green State University volleyball team will welcome Cleveland State to Anderson Arena Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. to open the home portion of the 2004 season. Following the match with CSU, the Falcons will once again hit the road for back-to-back tournaments, hosted by West Virginia this weekend and Wright State, Sept 17-18. BG is 0-3, CSU 1-1. CSU leads the overall series at 14-12 and defeated the Falcons in four sets last season. Following Wednesday night's match with the Vikings, the BGSU Volleyball program will be without their head coach for the first time in over 22 years. Denise Van De Walle will be traveling to Greece, where she will be coaching the the National Sitting Volleyball Team in the Paralympics during the month of September. Van De Walle will miss a total of nine matches, and will not return until the Miami match on October 1.

GO BG!~

Thanks for the heads up. Of all the sports I covered at BG, I have to say I enjoyed volleyball the most. When Denise Van De Walle retires, I hope the University steps up and does something special for her.

Vball won the match in 4 games! They lost the first and then won 3 straight. I was reading on bgsufalcons and it said they have won 5 straight season openers. I know a girl on the Cleveland St. team and she was telling me that they have a really good program there. So a win like this should help out teams confidence. Besides the 3 seniors on the team, one of the freshmen has been stepping up in all the games lately. Stephanie Swiger I believe is her name. With her and the rest of the freshmen class, we could be looking at another ladies sport dominated around campus

I agree '87! She needs to be recognized for her hard work and dedication to BGSU!
