Each week, the Bowling Green State University Athletic Department names the Medical Mutual Athletes of the Week, as selected by the strategic communications department based on their athletic performances from the previous week. This week's winners are men's basketball player Daeqwon Plowden and softball pitcher Payton Gottshall.
Daeqwon Plowden, a senior from Philadelphia, Pa., averaged 18.5 points and 8.5 rebounds as the Falcons capped a two-game week with a big Battle of I-75 victory at Toledo (Feb. 13). Plowden shot 54.
