Turner, East Named Jet's Athletes Of The Week

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 Justin Turner and gymnast Jovannah East.

Male Athlete of the Week
Justin Turner, a redshirt junior from Detroit, Mich., led Bowling Green to a 2-0 week with wins over Miami (Jan. 7) and Ohio (Jan. 11). Turner averaged 22.5 points and 5.0 rebounds -- all while making 17 field goals on 46.0 percent shooting. After a 16-point night in a home win over Miami, Turner scored a season-high 29 points in the Falcons' first Saturday win in Athens over Ohio since 2009. Turner tied a career high with 12 made field goals (12-of-23) in victory against the Bobcats. The native of Detroit grabbed five rebounds in both games on the week.
