A native of Plain City, Ohio (Jonathan Alder H.S.), Prochaska was named the MAC Tournament's Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year, as Bowling Green won the title and earned the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Championships, also for the second-straight year.
Prochaska averaged 15.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game in the Falcons' three wins in Cleveland, tying for the team scoring lead and deadlocking for second in the rebounding column. She also had 2.0 assists and a BG-best 1.7 blocked shots per contest as BGSU downed Ohio, Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan to claim the MAC Tournament title for the fifth time in seven years. Prochaska scored a game-high 20 points in the Falcons' 51-46 win over EMU in the championship game.
On the year, Prochaska is averaging 17.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. She leads the team in scoring, and is second in rebounding, assists, blocked shots and three-point field goals made. Prochaska, the BGSU career scoring leader, ranks third in MAC history in that department, and is second on the conference list for career three-pointers made. And, she is on pace to finish her career as one of the top-five players in NCAA Division-I history in free-throw percentage.
In the classroom, Prochaska has a 3.24 cumulative grade-point average as a sport management major.
The MAC Scholar-Athlete-of-the-Week honor is presented to a male and a female student-athlete who has a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, and who performed well during the previous week's competition. The winners are selected by a group of the conference's faculty athletics representatives.
The Falcons of head coach Curt Miller are in Columbus for the first round of the 2011 NCAA Championships. BGSU, 28-4 on the year, will face Georgia Tech on Saturday (March 19) in an 11:20 a.m. tip at St. John Arena on the Ohio State campus.
