The Mid-American Conference announced the male and female Scholar Athletes of the Week on Wednesday, with field hockey's Silvia Figa Malgosa being announced as an honoree.
Figa Malgosa recorded 4 points to tie the team-high while anchoring a defense that limited opponents to just 15 shots and 8 shots on goal as Kent State opened Mid-American Conference play with 2 victories. Figa Malgosa was in the right spot at the right time to follow-up a shot off a penalty corner and brought the Golden Flashes even with Ball State, 1-1, on Friday.
