TALBOT, TIERI NAMED WIAC ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

MADISON - UW-Eau Claire soccer defender Anna Talbot (So.-Apple Valley, MN/Eastview) and football safety Brent Tieri (Sr.-Rockford, MN) have been named Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Athletes of the Week, it was announced today by conference sports information director Matt Stanek.

Talbot helped UW-Eau Claire record its league-leading 12th shutout of the season with a 3-0 victory over Hamline (MN) on October 29. She won every 50/50 ball that came into her area of the field and helped limit the Pipers to just six shots in the game. The 12 shutouts this year for the Blugolds ties a school single-season record.

Tieri recorded a pair of interceptions in UW-Eau Claire's 17-3 victory over UW-Stevens Point on October 29. His first interception came on the first drive of the game and he returned it 21 yards to the Pointers' 47-yard line. Tieri snagged his second interception at the end of the first quarter and set up the first Blugold score of the game.
