Each week, the Bowling Green State University Athletic Department names the Athletes of the Week, as selected by the strategic communications and external relations departments based on their athletic performances from the previous week. This week's winners are hockey forward Noah Morneau and women's basketball forward Carol Silva.
Male Athlete of the Week
Noah Morneau, a sophomore from Windsor, Ontario, lifted the Falcons to Saturday's win over Bemidji State with his second collegiate hat trick, scoring all three goals in the first 30 minutes of the game. Morneau tallied two in the first period and added a third before the 10-minute mark. Of the three goals, the second came on a power play for the Falcons while the third went down as the game-winner, helping the Falcons advance to 4-0-0 in conference play for the first time since 1994-95.
Female Athlete of the Week
In her first two games as a collegian, freshman Carol Silva, a freshman forward from Gondomar, Portugal, led the Falcons in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots, while tying for the team assist lead and ranking second in steals. She averaged 22.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.0 blocks per game. Silva had a double-double in her collegiate debut, with 25 points and 10 rebounds as the Falcons topped Georgia Southern, 82-59, on Monday (Nov. 2). She went 9-of-15 from the field, including 4-for-6 from three-point range. Then, three days later, Silva scored 19 more points and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds in a 77-73 victory over Cleveland State. Silva shot .583 from three-point range (7-for-12) in the two games.
