BUFFALO, NY - University at Buffalo women's soccer senior midfielder Eva Blatz was named the Mid-American Conference Scholar Athlete of the Week, the league announced on Thursday.
A biomedical science major with a 3.923 GPA, Blatz continues to make an impact on both ends of the field for Buffalo as she scored the game-winning goal on an absolute strike from midfield in the 67th minute to lead the Bulls to a 2-1 win over Canisius last week. The highlight-reel goal landed at #6 on SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays of the night. The Bethel Park, PA native has already matched her career-high in goals (2) while continuing to be a presence in UB's defensive midfield.
The MAC Scholar-Athlete of the Week honor is presented to a MAC male and female student-athlete who has a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better and performs well during that week's competition. Each week schools are asked to nominate one female and one male among the sports that are in season at the time. The winners are selected by a group of the conference's faculty athletic representatives.
