Borgerding, a junior defensive back from Spring Valley, Wis., paced the Falcon defense that held University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (Texas) to -5 rushing yards during a 45-22 victory over the No. 3-ranked Crusaders. He totaled a team-high seven tackles (4 solo), along with an interception and two pass breakups.

The WIAC weekly honor is the first of Borgerding's career.
