Garda Named MAC Female Scholar Athlete Of The Week
October 12, 2016 | Volleyball
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Madeline Garda, a senior libero on the Bowling Green State University volleyball team, was named the Mid-American Conference's Female Scholar Athlete of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday (Oct. 12) afternoon.
Garda, a senior, is an inclusive early childhood education major, and has earned a 3.711 cumulative GPA to this point.
Last weekend, the senior led BGSU to a perfect 2-0 weekend on the road in MAC play. Garda, who leads the country in digs per set (6.63) and total digs (444), totaled 61 digs in two matches -- good enough for a ridiculous digs per set average of 8.71. Garda averaged over 30 digs per match. Yesterday, she was named the MAC East Defensive Player of the Week for the third time this season.
In Friday's (Oct. 7) win at Akron, she notched 35 digs (8.75 digs/set), which is the second most in school history for a four-set match. She followed that effort up with a 26-dig (8.67 digs/set) match in a victory over Buffalo (Oct. 8).
The Falcons will finish off a four-match road swing this weekend with matches at Eastern Michigan (Oct. 14) and Central Michigan (Oct. 15). Bowling Green will then return to the Stroh Center to host Ball State on Oct. 21, before staging a Battle of I-75 showdown with Toledo on Oct. 22.
