EVANSTON, Ill. - Senior Noah Herron (Mattawan, Mich./Mattawan) and sophomore Tori Bohannon (Neenah, Wis./Neenah) have been named this week's Hilton Garden Inn Athlete's of the Week.
Herron scored three touchdowns --- two rushing and one receiving -- including the game-winning score in overtime to give NU its first victory over Ohio State since 1971. Herron ran for a game-high 113 yards on OSU's defense, which was allowing just 127 running yards per game. With his 113 rushing yards, Herron moved into ninth place on NU's all-time rushing list, passing Adrian Autry and Art Murakowski.
Bohannon was one of the leaders of a strong performance by the women's soccer team this weekend. The former walk-on scored NU's first goal of the weekend, beginning an onslaught that would see the Wildcats score nine goals in two Big Ten matches (vs. Iowa and Minnesota). Defensively, she was one of the mainstays as the 'Cats allowed just one goal. NU has now won three straight Big Ten matches for the first time since the 1998 team began the conference campaign with five straight victories.
