Nocella Tabbed Female Scholar Athlete of the Week
February 17, 2016 | Gymnastics
Cleveland, Ohio -- Senior Alyssa Nocella was named the Mid-American Conference's Female Scholar Athlete of the Week, as announced by the league office Wednesday afternoon. The all-arounder has a 3.775 grade point average and is majoring in exercise science. Nocella also won MAC Gymnast of the Week for her performance against Eastern Michigan and SEMO last Saturday. The award today gives the senior four total weekly conference awards in her time at BGSU -- three gymnast of the weeks and one scholar athlete of the week.
This marks the second time this season that a Falcon has won MAC Gymnast and Scholar Athlete in the same week (previously done by Lauren Feely).
Nocella led Bowling Green to its top score of 2016 this past weekend, as the Falcons recorded a 195.425, a mark good for 10th best in program history. She was the team's top scorer on two of the four individual events (vault and bars) and placed first in All-Around competition with a season best 39.325. Her score ranks fourth best for BGSU all-time.Â
Adding to her record-setting night, Nocella earned the team's first 9.9 of the season, as she finished first on uneven bars with the third highest score recorded in program history on the event. The senior led the Falcons on vault with a season-high 9.825, helping BGSU to a season best score on the apparatus. The Orange and Brown earned another season-high event score, this time on uneven bars with a 48.925 as Nocella led the way with her 9.9. She earned her top season score on balance beam with a 9.850 and finished the night on floor exercise with a 9.750.
