Jessica Wireman from softball and Rachel Garippo from women's track have been named the Back To Health EIU student-athletes of the week.

Wireman was named the Ohio Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week following a dominant performance in the win over Eastern Kentucky.  Wireman tossed a complete game 12-inning shut out to hand the Colonels their first loss of the year.  She struck out 22 batters, the second highest single game total in the NCAA this season.
