MAC Men’s Soccer Player of the Week
Alberto Anaya, Midfielder, Bowling Green
Bowling Green’s Alberto Anaya had one of the top performances by a Falcon in recent memory, with two goals and three assists in a 6-0 win over Oakland Friday evening. Anaya scored the first two goals of the contest, just 2:23 apart, and he had assists on each of BGSU’s three second-half goals. Anaya’s total of seven points was the highest by a BG player in over eight years (since September of 2014), and he became the first Falcon with three assists in a match in nearly nine years (since November of 2013). Anaya fell just one assist short of tying the school single-game record. Anaya had the first two-goal game of his career and the first by a Falcon since 2018. He has scored the game-winning goal in each of BGSU’s last two matches.
