Wiese, Abbott Players Of The Week

Story by: Winona State Sports Information Office


ST. PAUL, MN -- Winona State University's Alex Wiese and Ryan Abbott received Player of the Week honors announced by the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.

Wiese, a senior running back, was tabbed the Offensive Player of the Week after he set a WSU single-game rushing record with 313 yards in 30 carriers in a 59-34 win against Wayne State College, NE. Wiese added three receptions for 15 yards and 328 total yards. Wiese also became the first WSU running back to rush for 300 yards in a game.

Abbott was named the Special Teams Player of the Week after he converted all eight of his extra-point kicks and his lone field goal attempt for 11 points.

Both efforts helped the Warriors secure an outright league championship.
