BOULDER -
Soccer's Madison
Krauser (freshman) and
football's Derrick Webb (junior) were awarded CU Athlete of the
Week honors on Tuesday for their play during the week of Aug. 27 - Sept. 2. The athlete of the week is sponsored by Silk®, Horizon® and International Delight®.
Scoring her
first goal as a Buff on Sunday against Northwestern, Madison Krauser
put up the goal that helped Colorado tie the Wildcats 2-2 on the road in
Evanston, Ill. Just minutes after senior captain Amy Barczuk put the Buffs on
the board, the Irvine, Calif., (Woodbridge)
native scored to tie the game. The Buffs remain undefeated in their first five
games of the season (3-0-2), a first in the program's history.
In a 22-17 loss
to Colorado State in Denver on Saturday, linebacker Derrick Webb
had a career-high 12 tackles (nine solo) with five at or behind the line of
scrimmage (three tackles for zero, two tackles for a loss with one being a
quarterback sack). Webb also had two third-down stops in 53 plays. The 6-foot,
230-pound Memphis, Tenn., (Whitehaven) native entered Saturday's game already
eighth in career special team points (60) and tackles (27).

Bouchet (women's cross
country), Nikki Lindow (volleyball) and Connor Winter (men's cross country).
