Jessica Hellweg
Adams State College senior forward for the woman’s soccer team, Jessica Hellweg (Island Lake, Ill.), has been named as the ASCGrizzlies.com Athlete of the Week for the week ending on Sept. 11.
Hellweg scored five goals and had one assist in three games last week as ASC recorded a 2-1 record, avenging losses against Texas-Permian Basin and Angelo State (Texas) from last year.
