For the ninth time in her career, ONU senior Emily Richards (Delaware/Hayes) has been named the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division III Women's Track National Athlete of the Week.

ONU junior Andrew Markell (Missouri City, Tex./Ridge Point) and sophomore Cameron Marous (Brecksville) swept the Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Lacrosse Athlete of the Week awards.

ONU sophomore Josh Mohr (Oregon/Clay) earned his first career Ohio Athletic Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week nod for his efforts this week as ONU posted a perfect 4-0 week.
Mohr was a big part of the Polar Bears success as he posted a 2-0 record, while appearing in two contests last week.
The sophomore pitcher posted a 1.2 ERA in 15.0 innings of work and fanned nine batters in his two appearances.
Mohr pitched a complete game shutout victory in ONU's second game at Capital, striking out eight batters during the contest and only allowing four hits.
