BURNSVILLE, Minn. --- Minnesota State's Savannah Acker and Natalie Freeman have earned NSIC accolades for their efforts during MSU's double dual vs. Concordia-St. Paul and Southwest Minnesota State.

Acker was named the NSIC Swimmer of the Week, while Freeman garnered her second NSIC Diver of the Week honor.

A sophomore from Lodi, Wis., Acker won both the 100 backstroke (57.50) and the 200 breaststroke (2:29.46) events against CSP and SMSU. She was also a member of the 400 freestyle relay (3:37.74) and 200 medley relay (1:48.35) teams that finished first.
