CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced the MAC Scholar-Athletes of the Week Wednesday afternoon (Nov. 15). Of those named, Bowling Green's Lauryn Hovey was named the MAC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week. This is Hovey's first Scholar-Athlete award as a member of the Falcons. 

Hovey had an incredible weekend for the Falcons, leading BGSU to two wins over East Division-leading Buffalo to clinch a spot in the MAC Tournament. Hovey started the weekend with 26 kills in four sets in Friday's win, for her second 20-kill match of the season. In the process, she maintained a .380 attack percentage and narrowly missed a double-double with nine digs. She followed up the performance on Saturday with another 20-kill match with exactly 20 kills in BG's three-set sweep of the Bulls. In that match, she added five digs and logged a .302 hitting percentage. On the weekend, Hovey hit .344 with 46 kills (6.57 per set) for the Falcons.
