Leah Zidon and Heather Murray Earn MIAA Athlete of the Week Honors

Cross Country runner Leah Zidon and women's soccer player Heather Murray earned MIAA athlete of the week honors today.

Zidon earned the award for the second straight week after she won the Miner Invitational last Saturday. She ran the course in a time of 19:01 and helped lead Truman to a first-place team finish. Zidon has now lead the Bulldogs in all four races this season.

Murray scored a goal in each of the Bulldogs' three wins last week. Against Rockhurst, she tallied both goals in a 2-1 Truman victory. On Saturday, she iced a 2-0 win over Central Missouri with a goal in the 81st minute. She ended the week with an overtime game-winner in a 1-0 win over Northwest Missouri.
