Helping the University of St. Francis to a 4-0 start in the 2010 campaign, senior Krysten Becker has been named the CCAC Volleyball Player of the Week. St. Francis came away with four wins over Cornerstone, Notre Dame (Ohio), Bethel (Ind.), and Spring Arbor.

In the opening weekend of competition for men's soccer, Judson University and Cardinal Stritch pick up the first CCAC awards for their play. Goalkeep Alex Tyton (Judson) and forward Shay Douglas (CSU) respectively have won the awards.

Entering the 2010 CCAC women's cross country season, St. Xavier University is the favorite to win their third straight championship. The road will be hard for SXU's three-peat as several teams have closed the gap with new talent and will try to dethrone the Cougars.

St. Xavier, who won last year's championship by 22 points over Olivet Nazarene University, returns a team that finished 24^th at the NAIA National Meet. They produced four of the top 10 runners for 36 points at the last year's CCAC championships. This season they are just out of the NAIA Preseason Poll in 27^th with 106 points. They return three runners from the NAIA national meet team and have added All-CCAC runner and NAIA qualifier Rachael Dean from Judson University.

The 2010 CCAC men's cross country season is shaping up much like the last four years as Olivet Nazarene University has the top spot in the preseason poll. Olivet Nazarene University has earned a NAIA National ranking of 16 in the preseason poll and will be running for their fifth straight CCAC championship this year. Last year was one of the finest for their program as they finished 11^th at the NAIA National Championship.

In the CCAC meet last year the Olivet men captured five of the first seven spots and tallied just 20 points for the championship, well ahead of second-place and host University of St. Francis who finished with 64 points. Olivet returns a majority of their team with senior NAIA All-American and CCAC champion Kenny MacDonough leading the way.
