UWP soccer

Posted October 6, 2009

UW-Platteville's Anthony Heller, who led the Pioneers to an undefeated start in conference play, is the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference soccer defensive player of the week.

The sophomore defender from McFarland helped UW-Platteville to a 2-0-1 record during the week by spearheading a defense that allowed just one goal. The Pioneers tied UW-Whitewater 1-1, beat UW-Superior 1-0 and Finlandia University (Mich.) 10-0, giving them a 2-0-1 conference record.

The Pioneers take a 7-4-2 overall record to a Twin Cities trip this weekend. UWP faces Carleton Saturday and at St. Olaf.
