Two Bulldogs Receive Player of the Week Honors
Women's basketball player Annie Westhoff was named the Wilson/MIAA women's basketball player of the week and men's track athlete Matt Helbig was named the MIAA men's indoor track athlete of the week.
Westhoff averaged 22.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in two Bulldog victories last week. She shot 60% from the field, 38.5% from three-point range and 69.2% from the free throw line. In the 87-66 win over Missouri-Rolla, she had a career-high 30 points to go along with nine rebounds. Against Missouri Southern, Westhoff scored nine of the last 17 Bulldog points in a 66-61 win. She ended the game with 14 points, her tenth straight double-figure scoring game, and nine rebounds.
Helbig won the mile run at the Northern Iowa UNIDome Open last weekend. He finished the race in a time of 4:12.85 to finish ahead of 28 other runners, including several Division I athletes. He also placed seventh at the meet in the 800-meter run (1:58.64). Helbig won the MIAA award for the second time in the month of February.
