EVANSTON, Ill. -- Wildcat sophomore Chelsea Armstrong (Perth, Australia/Penrhos) of the field hockey team has been named NU's Hilton Garden Inn Athlete of the Week for her performance over the weekend.
No men's teams were in action last week. Men's soccer opens its 2009 campaign Tuesday evening at Green Bay while the football team kicks off the season at 11 a.m. at home against Towson.
Armstrong scored both NU goals in her debut with the Wildcats, a 2-1 overtime victory against Boston University. Her first tally came off a second-half penalty corner--just one minute after the Terriers had taken a 1-0 lead--and she struck again 86 seconds into the extra session. The next day, Armstrong recorded the 'Cats' first goal and helped set up Courtney Plaster-Strange's game-winning score in a 3-2 overtime win against Ohio. On Monday, Armstrong scored yet another goal in a loss to top-ranked Maryland and was named the season's initial Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.
This week's Community Service Athlete of the Week is senior Adam Hahn (Hartford, Wis./Hartford Union) of the football team. Hahn helped lead more than 750 children from the Chicagoland area on tours of Northwestern's athletic facilities on multiple occasions throughout the summer months. As part of the tours, Hahn accompanied the visitors as they shot hoops in Welsh-Ryan Arena, ran the 40-yard dash in Trienens Hall and studied football game film in the Nicolet Football Center meeting rooms.
