Jurgens, the setter, takes home Offensive Player of the Week honors after earning tourney MVP accolades at the recently completed Kangaroo Klassic in Kansas City. Wiedenfeld, meanwhile, has been named the Defensive Player of the Week.

South Dakota junior Abby Ripperda has been named the Summit League Women’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week for the period ended Sept. 8.

Ripperda took home her first collegiate cross country meet title last Friday in winning the Augustana Twilight.
