Nell, Griffin Named Vito's Athletes Of The Week

Each week, the Bowling Green State University Athletic Department names the Vito's Athletes of the Week, as selected by the athletic communications department based on their athletic performances from the previous week. This week's winners are hockey player Chris Nell and swimmer Victoria Griffin.

Male Athlete of the Week
Chris Nell, a sophomore from Green Bay, Wisc., stopped 42-of-43 shots as hockey went on the road to sweep Bemidji State 4-1 and 2-0. Nell earned his third shutout of the season Saturday night with 28 saves and backstopped a defensive unit that was 7-for-7 on the penalty kill, including one 5-on-3 opportunity. With six career shuouts, Nell is just on shy of the all-time BGSU record.

Female Athlete of the Week
Victoria Griffin, a junior from Littlestown, Pa., qualified for the 2016 USA Olympic Trials at Akron's long course dual meet. On the last swim of the first session, she swam a 26.21 in the 50 free to just miss the cut mark of 26.19. But, 30 minutes later she had the chance for redemption and put up a 26.00 to punch her ticket to next summer's USA Olympic Trials.
