Female Scholar Athlete of the Week
Bowling Green's Maureen Kennedy, Soccer - Defender (Senior, 3.954, Psychology)
Bowling Green senior defender Maureen Kennedy again made major contributions at both ends of the field as the Falcons won two more matches to remain undefeated in the MAC. Kennedy led BGSU with four points on the weekend, and was involved in the scoring of the game-winning goal in both matches. She had the primary assist on Nikhita Jacob’s GWG in a 3-1 victory at Kent State Friday night. Then, on Sunday, Kennedy had a goal and an assist less than two minutes apart in a 3-1 win at Ohio. She had an assist on Chelsee Washington’s game-opening goal, then scored a goal of her own just 1:50 later. At the other end of the field, Kennedy blocked an Ohio shot on the goal line for a ‘team save’ in the second half. Kennedy now has career totals of 14 goals, 27 assists and 55 points as a Falcon. She sits in 12th place on the career goals list, and is seventh in points. Kennedy ranks second in career assists, and is just five shy of tying the school record in that category. She now has six GWG as a Falcon, deadlocking her for seventh in school history. This season, she ranks second on the team in both goals (four) and points (11), and is third on the Falcons with three assists.
