EVANSTON, Ill. -- Senior defensive lineman Luis Castillo (Garfield, N.J./Garfield) and freshman Audra Cohen (Plantation, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) of women's tennis have been named Northwestern's Hilton Garden Inn Athletes of the Week.
Cohen defeated teammate and No. 1 seed Cristelle Grier (Epsom, England/Putney), 7-6 (2), 6-2, Sunday to win the Riviera/Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-American National Championship. It was the the fourth time in the tournament's history that players from the same school faced each other for the title, and the first time since 1990.
Cohen entered the tournament unseeded and played her way through the pre-qualifying and qualifying tournaments, winning 12 matches in nine days for the title.
Castillo notched a career-high 11 tackles (career-high nine solos), which included three tackles for loss, and helped shut down the Indiana running game in the Wildcats' 31-24 double-overtime victory. Castillo's three TFL's were also a career best.
Indiana was held to 100 yards on 40 attempts--just a 2.5 yards per carry average. Northwestern has held three of its last four opponents to 100 or less rushing yards per game.
