Each week, the Bowling Green State University Athletic Department names the Jet's Pizza 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 men's basketball player Demajeo Wiggins and track and field student-athlete Aliyah Gustafson.
Male Athlete of the Week
Demajeo Wiggins, a junior from Toledo, Ohio, posted his fifth and sixth double-doubles of the season, as the Falcons went 1-1 last week. For the week, Wiggins averaged 16.5 points and 13.5 rebounds.
