for contests between October 24 and October 31

Female Athlete of the Week – Samantha Mayden, Cross Country

Mayden placed sixth at the Centennial Conference Championships – the highest finish by a Muhlenberg female since 2005. She led the Mules to a fourth-place finish, matching their best ever.

Male Athlete of the Week – Dan Deighan, Football

This may mark the first time in the history of football – or at least in a very long time – that a starting quarterback is named athlete of the week after completing one pass for zero yards. But Deighan did the damage with his feet in Saturday’s 12-0 win against Dickinson, rushing for a career-high 120 yards through the snow. He is the first Mule ever to have a 100-yard receiving game and a 100-yard rushing game in back-to-back weeks. Click here for video of his 52-yard touchdown run on the third play from scrimmage.
