MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) released its Kwik Trip Athletes of the Week for the week of Oct. 12-18, with Audrey Petersen representing UW-River Falls as the Volleyball Offensive Athlete of the Week.

Petersen, a junior libero from Glencoe, Minn., collects her third career WIAC weekly honor, and first this season. It also marks UWRF's second of the season, following Blessing Adebisi's offensive accolade last week.

UWRF went 1-2 last week while Petersen anchored the Falcon defense with a total of 64 digs while averaging 5.33 digs per set against a weekend schedule that UW-Whitewater, Augsburg, and Hamline.

Petersen reached double figures in digs in all three matches, opening the weekend with a season-high 25 digs against Wisconsin-Whitewater before posting 23 digs in a five-set battle with Augsburg. She capped the weekend with 13 digs in a three-set sweep of Hamline, averaging 4.33 digs per set in the match.

The Falcons (14-6, 1-3 WIAC) return to action tomorrow evening to host UW-La Crosse at Page Arena.
