Sanford, Rodriguez Named Pizza Hut Athletes Of The Week
September 29, 2014 | Football, General, Women's Golf
Each week, the Bowling Green State University Athletic Department names the Pizza Hut Athletes of the Week, as selected by the athletic communications department based on their athletic performances from the previous week. This week's winners are football player James Sanford and women's golfer Fran Rodriguez.
Male Athlete of the Week Fran Rodriguez, a sophomore from Flower Mound, Texas, recorded back-to-back career-low rounds at the Cardinal Classic to post a third-place finish, her second top-three individual finish of the year. Rodriguez carded a 74, +2 on Monday and then bettered that score with a 73, +1 Tuesday to earn the top-three finish. She led the Falcons to a third-place team finish and the squad's second-round 296 is the fourth-best 18-hole team score in program history.

Male Athlete of the WeekJames Sanford, a redshirt sophomore from Xenia, Ohio, had perhaps the biggest defensive play of Saturday's 47-42 MAC win over UMass, forcing a fumble late in the fourth quarter to stop the Minutemen's attempt to take the lead. Sanford recorded a career-high nine tackles in the contest, including his first two career sacks. On top of his game-clinching forced fumble, Sanford also recovered a fumble and broke up a pass to help BGSU secure the victory.
