Female Scholar Athlete of the Week: October 29th - November 4th, 2018
Bowling Green's Elisa Baeron, Soccer (Senior, 4.0, Exercise Science)
Bowling Green fifth-year senior Elisa Baeron was named the Mid-American Conference Tournament MVP as the Falcons won the league tourney title. Baeron, who arrived at BGSU mere months after the Falcons had completed a winless 2013 campaign, converted her penalty kick in the sixth round of the PK phase against Ball State, giving BG the title. Baeron had two shot attempts during the match, both coming in overtime. Her first shot was saved by the BSU ‘keeper during a surreal sequence in which the Falcons fired off four shots in four seconds during the first OT session. Then, she hit the post with a shot in the second OT period, before converting the walk-off PK moments later. The MAC Tournament title is the third in program history, and the first since 2005.
