TWO BLUGOLD ATHLETES TABBED FOR CONFERENCE HONORS

UW-Eau Claire football player Zach Paul (Sr.-Edgar, WI) and women’s golfer Meghan Sobotta (Sr.-Arcadia, WI) have been named the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference player of the week, conference spokesman Matt Stanek has announced.

Paul helped the Blugolds in a number of ways in Thursday’s 42-13 victory over Southwest Minnesota State. Not only did he have seven tackles during the course of the game, but he also scored the Blugolds first touchdown of the season off an interception and a 20-yard return two-and-a-half minutes into the game. Paul also broke up a pass and recovered a fumble early in the 4th quarter.

Sobotta earned medalist honors in the 18-team UW-Eau Claire Fall Invitational with scores of 74 on the par 72 Mill Run Golf Course Saturday and 84 on the par 73 Wild Ridge Golf Course Sunday for a total of 158. This is the second year in a row Sobotta received first place honors at the UWEC Fall Invite.
