MAC Tournament Central

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Mid-American Conference named Bowling Green's Nick Glanzman the MAC East Player of the Week for his efforts over four games this past week. It was the first time this season that Glanzman has been honored with the award and the second time during his career.

Glanzman helped Bowling Green to a 4-0 week, as the Falcons swept their first Mid-American Conference series of the season and will take a season-long winning streak of four games into the MAC Tournament. Glanzman led the Falcons by hitting the first two home runs of his career, as BGSU scored 13 runs in back-to-back games to finish off the weekend sweep. In both Friday's and Saturday's games, Glanzman set a new career mark with three-hit games, scoring four runs and driving in three in the final two games of the weekend. On the week, the Falcons' third baseman had 13 total bases in just 15 at-bats, while recording a team-high slugging percentage of .867.

Bowling Green opens play at the 2015 MAC Tournament on Wednesday morning against No. 3 seed Ohio. Fans can find ticket information, a tournament bracket, and more by clicking the link at the top of this page.
