NIU Scholar Athletes of the Week: April 6-12

April 13, 2015 DeKALB, Ill. - Each week, NIU honors two student-athletes that exemplify the concept of the "student-athlete" supremely well. These students excel both in the classroom and on the playing field. This week, the honorees are Frederic Cadieux from men's tennis and Michaela Dwyer from women's track & field.

These two Huskies have been nominated to the MAC for the league's Scholar Athlete of the Week award, which NIU student-athletes have won 10 times during the 2014-15 season, the most in the conference.

Week's Achievements:

Frederic Cadieux helped lift the Huskies to another MAC victory on Saturday, winning his singles match against Toledo's Mark Singnil 6-2, 6-4 and taking his doubles match with partner Louis-Philippe Hamel 6-3. Cadieux is a big reason why NIU men's tennis sits atop the MAC standings with a 3-1 conference record after the team's 5-2 victory at Toledo. The senior Canadian is 11-5 in singles this spring and also owns 11 doubles victories.

Week's Achievements:

Michaela Dwyer won the high jump at the Chicagloand Championships last weekend, helping the NIU women's track & field team win the meet with 151 total points. Dwyer, a Chicagoland area native from Arlington Heights, Ill., earned maximum points for NIU in her specialized event by clearing the bar at 1.63m, the second best effort of her collegiate career to play her part in the Huskies earning the claim as the best team in the region.
