MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) announced its Kwik Trip Athletes of the Week for Oct. 19-25, with Levi Bolstad representing UW-River Falls as the Football Defensive Athlete of the Week.

Bolstad, a junior defensive lineman from Onalaska, Wis., delivered a record-tying performance in UW-River Falls' 59-22 victory over UW-Eau Claire, recording six tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and four sacks. He tied the UW-River Falls and WIAC single-game records for sacks, accounting for four of the Falcons' five sacks, while helping limit the Blugolds to 89 rushing yards. Bolstad totaled 16 yards in tackles for loss as the Falcons' defense forced three interceptions and held UW-Eau Claire scoreless in the fourth quarter.

Bolstad, who was also named to the D3football.com Team of the Week, earns his first career WIAC weekly honor. He is the fourth Falcon to earn a WIAC Athlete of the Week award this season, joining Cade Fitzgerald (Sept. 7-13), Taylor Sussner (Sept. 14-20) and Johnny Figgins (Oct. 5-11).

The No. 15-ranked Falcons (5-2, 2-2 WIAC) return to action Saturday, Oct. 31, hosting UW-Stout Polytechnic.
