BG Seniors Megan Gormley and Hannah Lambert, along with Junior Lauren Glew were named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team on Wednesday.

410 women golfers were awarded this honor by maintaining a minimum 3.50 cumulative grade-point average.  The student-athletes must also have competed in at least 50% (Division I) or 66% (Division II & III) of the college's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the season.

The Falcon award winners maintain a minimum 3.57 GPA, and the three competed in all 29 rounds this past season.

This is Glew's second year being named to the All-American Scholar team.

UPDATE: 4:30 p.m.

Danielle Havel will be joining the Falcons after deciding to transfer to BG from DePaul, women's basketball coach Curt Miller announced today.

"Danielle will be a tremendous addition to BGSU and our basketball family," Miller said. "She is an outstanding player with the versatility to play three positions for the Falcons. Danielle is a proven winner, a productive rebounder, and has a high basketball IQ."

She will have three years of eligibility for the Falcons, starting in the 2010-11 season.

Havel is a 6'2" forward and played in 28 games off the bench for DePaul last season as a freshmen. At the end of the season, she was named co-Most Improved Player award.

DePaul went 23-10 and made a trip to the NCAA Tournament, losing to San Diego State in the first round. Havel played 19 minutes in that game, grabbing five rebounds (including three on the offensive end) and making one steal. She was 0-for-2 shooting.

On the season, Havel led her team in rebounding four times, and her rebounding ability should immediately help the Falcons in their biggest area of struggle from last season once she takes the court.

Havel was Miller's top power forward recruit in 2008 because of her great play and great character, and now that he has her, Miller expects big things out of her.

"Danielle has a chance to make a huge impact in our conference," Miller said.

Miller later gave more praise to Havel on Twitter: "Don't let [freshman] stats fool you..she can play [and] will make an impact in MAC."

Incoming freshman Chrissy Steffen and Havel were teammates at Carmel High School in Indiana and both were on the 2008 IHSAA Class 4A state championship team; Havel recorded a double-double in that game and was awarded the Patricia L. Roy Mental Attitude Award.

But that isn't the only BG connection for Havel. Her cousin, Madeline Means, played volleyball for the Falcons from 2004-2007.

Check back throughout the day for more information regarding Havel's transfer.

B.J. Mullens - who played one season at Ohio State - was the only player in the 2009 NBA Draft who played against the Falcons in the 2008-09 season.

Mullens - who was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 24th overall pick - scored just two points and had one rebound in Ohio State's narrow 61-57 win over the Falcons on Nov. 24.

The 7'1" 258 pound freshmen center averaged 8.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game for the Buckeyes and netted a double-double against Northwestern.

There were no MAC players selected in the 2009 Draft. Northern Illinois' Jake Anderson withdrew his name from the draft on June 15 to return for his junior season.
