CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA - The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) announced today that Simpson College golfer Jennifer Gaffney and football player Taylor Nelson have been named IIAC Athletes of the Week for the week ending Sunday, October 7, 2012. The Conference also recognized a total of 14 Performers of the Week across the league's eight fall championship sports.
University of Dubuque senior Loisann DeLass (Albuquerque, N.M. / Hohenfels) was named Women’s Soccer Defensive Performer of the Week. DeLass recorded shutouts in both games this week. She extended her streak of scoreless minutes in goal to 249:29. She made four saves vs. Monmouth and two more against Simpson.
