The BG women's basketball team has been picked to win the Mid-American Conference's East Division title and the MAC Tournament title in 2001, according to the league's preseason poll.
The Falcons received 43 of 48 votes to with the East Division. BG was picked to finish ahead of Kent State, Miami, Akron, Ohio and Buffalo.
In the MAC West, Toledo was picked to come out on top, followed by Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan, Ball State, Northern Illinois and Western Michigan.

The Falcons should have no problem wrapping up the MAC this season. They boasts one of the best one-two punches in the league with seniors Lauren Prochaska and Tracy Pontius.
Prochaska is the reigning two-time MAC Player of the Year and I expect her to earn that award again this season.
She's third in BG history in scoring and is one of the best free-throw shooters in the country, and I'm not just saying that from what I've seen. She really is.
During the 2008-09 season, Prochaska's sophomore season, she led the entire nation in free-throw percentage with 93.3 percent.
Prochaska will enter this season with 1,699 career points and will more than likely finish her BG career with over 2,000 points.
There's not a whole lot more to say that hasn't already been said about the native from Plain City, Ohio.
She was recently named one of 13 players on the All-Anderson Team, which is an incredible feat considering she still has a year left to play.
At the end of the 2010-11 season a chapter will end for BG women's basketball. The team will call the Stroh Center home next Fall and will do so without Prochaska, who will go down as one of the greatest women's basektball player's in BGSU history.
