Congratulations to Matt Andersen, senior running back, who was named the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week for the week of September 3-9, 2007.
In his final season opener, Andersen began his senior campaign where he finished off a junior year which he led the SCIAC with 18 TDs.
In just over a half of football the running back accumulated 129 all-purpose yards as the Tigers defeated Lewis & Clark 52-0 on opening day. Andersen tallied 96 yards on the ground, good for a pair of 14-yard touchdown runs and a 1-yard leap into the end zone, accounting for 18 points. His longest run of the day was a 21-yard pick-up in the second quarter that led to an Oxy field goal. Additionally he caught three passes for 33-yards in the win.
