NIU Scholar Athletes of the Week: April 13-19

April 20, 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 the MAC championship-winning men's tennis team and Kali Kossakowski from softball.

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.
