WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Sophomore right-side hitter
Addie Aman of the SWOSU Volleyball team and senior running back and kick returner
Sheldon Wilson of the SWOSU Football team have been named the Bulldogs of the Week for the week of Sept. 12-18. The award is sponsored by Wright Radio, home of SWOSU Athletics on 95.5 'The Coyote.'
Aman (Tacoma, Wash.) started every set but one for the Bulldogs in the GAC / MIAA Crossover tournament this weekend which was highlighted by her exceptional performance in SWOSU's five-set thriller victory against Emporia State on Saturday. In that match, she collected seven kills while hitting .429 for the match and had five service aces without committing an error. Overall on the weekend, Aman hit .232 with 16 kills from the right side. The Bulldogs went 1-3 on the weekend, falling to Southwest Baptist and #7 Central Oklahoma on Friday and splitting the day on Saturday against Emporia State and Missouri Western State.
Wilson (Anadarko, Okla.) took four handoffs for 29 yards from the running back position on Saturday night, but his standout performance came in the form of special teams, when he took a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown to keep the Bulldogs in the game against Ouachita. The kickoff return TD was the first since 2013 when Terrance Franklin did so against Southeastern Oklahoma State. Wilson's score made the game 28-41 at the time with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers answered with a touchdown of their own to put the game out of reach in the following drive. SWOSU lost 48-28 and fell to 0-3 (0-3 GAC) on the year.
