AKRON, Ohio– Oh my, what a weekend!
Within a 24-hour period, University of Akron sports teams claimed four Mid-American Conference championships. As a result, all student-athletes from those four teams– Men's Basketball, Women's Swimming & Diving, Men's Indoor Track & Field, and Women's Indoor Track & Field– have been selected as the Zips' Student-Athletes of the Week, presented by The University of Akron, on Feb. 27.
Men's Basketball, under the guidance of 13th-year head coach Keith Dambrot, captured its second consecutive Mid-American Conference regular-season championship with an 89-83 win at Buffalo on Friday before a sold-out crowd.
