Athletes of the Month
Women's Cross Country
Women's cross country runner Jocelyn Ritger (Wesst Bend, Wis.) becomes one of two athletes at Stritch to be named Athlete of the Month for the first time ever in school history.
Ritger, a junior at Stritch, has been pacing the way all season long for the Wolves women's cross country team. The team's leading top finisher in all seven of the team's meets, Ritger placed as high as fifth overall in the Falcon Invite on Sept. 19 and sixth in the Wisconsin Private College Championship (WPCC) on Oct. 17.
The Wolves' leading runner closed out the season on a high note as she recorded a season-best time of 24:27 in the 6K during the WPCC. She also would finish in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) meet in 12th place with a finishing time of 20:33, barely missing a chance to qualify for nationals.

Men's Soccer
Senior men's soccer player Andy Collins (Burnley, England) becomes one of two athletes at Stritch to be named Athlete of the Month for the first time ever in school history.
Collins had a stellar final season for the Wolves to earn Athlete of the Month for November. The Stritch midfielder was first on the team with a career-high eight goals and second on the team with 17 overall points as the Wolves finished the season at 12-6-1 overall and 7-3 in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC). Collins was also first for Stritch with four game-winning goals in the 2009 season.
Capping off a strong final season, the senior co-captain finished the year by being named to the CCAC All-Conference team as honorable mention. For Collins, it is the second time in his career that he's earned this distinction.
