Trey Andrew and Andrew Day earn CCIW Player of the Week honors

Wheaton, Ill. (9/11) Wheaton seniors Trey Andrew and Andrew Day have been named CCIW "Players of the Week", for the second week of the 2005 season. Andrew, a Thunder defensive end, was named the conference's Defensive Player of the Week. Day, a three-year starter at placekicker, was named the Special Teams Player of the Week. The duo helped lead Wheaton to a 23-16 season-opening victory at Gustavus Adolphus College. Wheaton will open the home portion of its schedule Sept. 17 against Greenville College.

Trey Andrew (LEFT) was a key component in an impressive effort by the Thunder defensive line in Wheaton 's road victory on Saturday. The Thunder defense recorded seven quarterback sacks and allowed only 33 net rushing yards on the afternoon. Andrew made four total tackles including three solos and was in the Gusties' backfield much of the afternoon. He made 3-1/2 tackles for lost yardage of 14 yards. Andrew also had two (-10 yards) of Wheaton 's seven sacks in the victory.

Andrew Day (RIGHT) made three field goals under windy conditions at Gustavus Adolphus' Hollingsworth Field on Saturday. Day kicked a 26-yard field goal with 7:02 left in the first half and booted a 27-yard field goal with 4:10 left in the first half to help keep the Thunder in the game, trailing 7-6 late in the first half. Day also kicked a 20-yard field goal in the third quarter to give the Thunder its first nine points of the game.

With his made attempts on Saturday, Day now has kicked 25 field goals in his four-year career and is just one shy of tying Wheaton's career record for field goals of 26 held by Bob Unruh (1975-78). Day already holds Wheaton 's career PAT record with 132. His 11 points on Saturday moved him into fifth place on the program's all-time scoring list with 207 career points.
