BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Former AYHL standout Brian Lonergan who played with the North Jersey Avalanche has committed to Bowling Green State University for the upcoming season. A right-handed defenseman, Lonergan joins the Falcons following two seasons in the USHL, most recently with the Omaha Lancers, where he tallied three goals and 17 assists.
Lonergan also brings championship experience, having won the 2024 Clark Cup with the Fargo Force. In total, he appeared in 112 USHL games, registering 25 points. Prior to that, he skated with the Minnesota Wilderness in the NAHL, notching eight points over 48 games.
His addition bolsters what has been called the top NCAA Division I recruiting class in the country. The Falcons, led by Head Coach Dennis Williams, open their season Oct. 4 in an exhibition against Robert Morris.
