Andersen Voted SCIAC Athlete of the Week

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.
