Ferris
State University
Bulldogs
Senior forward Heather O’Keefe’s (Ada/Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central) 33 points (13-7=33) in 18 matches this season not only represents a career single-season high, but equals her combined points total (12-9=33) in 36 outings over the previous two seasons (2005 and 2006)... Heather O’Keefe’s goal at Tiffin last Sunday (10/28) marked the 10th time this season in which the forward has tallied a goal in a match... Ferris State’s 127 points on 44 goals and 39 assists in 18 matches this fall is a school single-season record, eclipsing the 120 points (46-28=120) set by the 2006 team. The 39 helpers also represents a school single-season best, bettering the 36 assists generated by the 2003 squad. The 2007 Bulldogs are also two goals shy of tying the program’s single-season goal-scoring total of 46 which was produced by the 2006 squad..
