GREENVILLE, S.C. - After a massively successful week for University of Northwestern athletics, the awards are beginning to roll in. Haley Mersberger (Kiel, Wis./Elkhart Lake Glenbeulah) and Addeson Jenniges (Walnut Grove, Minn./Westbrook-Walnut Grove) were among those named Student-Athletes of the Week by the National Christian College Athletic Association on Monday afternoon.

The NCCAA press release can be accessed here.

Mersberger's NCCAA Women's Soccer Offensive Student-Athlete of the Week award is the fifth of her legendary career, but surprisingly just the first of her senior season. The 2023 NCCAA All-American scored five goals in a pair of shutout wins last week, including a hat trick in the win at North Central in which she also added an assist.

Jenniges, who is a four-time UMAC Volleyball Setter of the Week award winner this season, adds her first-career NCCAA Women's Volleyball Offensive Student-Athlete of the Week honor. The sophomore dished out 100 assists in three conference sweeps despite playing only eight of nine sets, good for 12.5 assists per set. Her 10.59 assists per set this season rank sixth in NCAA Division III and first in NCCAA DI.
