EVANSTON, Ill. - Northwestern has named its Hilton Garden Inn Athletes of the Week. Drew Robertson (Long Beach, Calif./Long Beach Poly), a junior setter for the Wildcat volleyball team, is the female selection and senior running back Jason Wright (Diamond Bar, Calif./Diamond Bar) was selected for the second time this year.
Wright equaled a career high with four rushing touchdowns and he registered his fourth 100-yard game of the season (141 yards) in NU's 37-31 overtime win vs. Indiana. Wright's final touchdown came in the overtime period.
With his 141 yards, Wright moved into sixth place on NU's all-time rushing list (1,957 yards). He also climbed into third place on the Wildcats' all-time rushing TD list (25).
Roberston, meanwhile, played perhaps her most complete match of the season in a 3-2 victory over Ohio State.
She amassed 58 assists, 18 digs, and three kills against the Buckeyes. Robertson followed that performance with a 49-assist, 11-dig night in the Wildcats' 3-1 loss to Penn State. She is third all-time in NU record books for career assists with 3,253.
