Cooper, Arnold 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 Mark Cooper and track and field sprinter Alicia Arnold.

Male Athlete of the Week
Mark Cooper, a senior from Toronto, Ontario, scored two goals as Bowling Green hockey earned a weekend split at WCHA leader Minnesota State in a 3-1 win Saturday. Cooper's first goal put the Falcons ahead 1-0 late in the first period. After Minnesota State had tied the game, Cooper cleaned up a loose puck in front of the net and scored a power play goal to put the Falcons ahead for good. It was Cooper's fourth game-winning goal of the year, putting him ninth in the country in that stat. Cooper has now scored eight goals in 11 career games against Minnesota State.

Female Athlete of the Week
Alicia Arnold, a senior from Lorain, Ohio, set new personal bests in both the 60 and the 200, posting the fastest times in the MAC in both events this weekend. Arnold climbed to third in the MAC in the 60 with a time of 7.53 seconds in the prelims at the Akron Invitational, beating four other runners who rank among the top 20 in the MAC in the sprint. She followed that up with a time of 7.55 seconds in the finals. Arnold moved to second in the MAC in the 200 with a time of 24.28 seconds, the second-fastest in BGSU history. She won the event at the Akron Invitational, edging out Buffalo's Malayah White, who ranks sixth in the conference in the event.
