ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Andy Wigton (Rochester, NY/Greece-Athena) of the men's cross country team earned his first collegiate title with a winning time of 26:11.7 to lead the Bulls to a team victory at the UB Invitational. Wigton completed the 8K course by a full minute over the second-place finisher, UB's Joel Beatty (Holley, NY/Holley).

Emily Russell (Averill Park, NY/Academy of the Holy Name) of the women's soccer team scored three goals and added an assist in UB's two-game weekend homestand. Russell scored the lone goal in the Bulls' 2-1 double-overtime loss to Ball State, then followed on Sunday by playing a part in all three tallies in UB's 3-1 win over Miami (OH), the first time the Bulls have defeated the RedHawks. Russell had an assist and scored two goals, including the gamewinner, to give her 14 goals for the season, three shy of the school record.
