Mandee Akason has been selected by voters as Stinger Media's Athlete of the Week. She is a junior midfielder for the women's soccer team.

Last week Mandee assisted the only goal of the week for the University of Wisconsin - Superior and took four shots in two games. Her sophomore year Mandee tore her ACL and was not able to compete. When she transfered to UW-Superior she heard that the team was still looking for players and founder her a spot on the Yellowjacket women's soccer team playing a midfielder.

When asked what role she likes to fill on the field Mandee said, "Being like a rock on the field. I'm probably the oldest one on the team. So I hope girls can come to me on and off the field."

Madee is busy on and off the field. When she is not working hard for the team she is working hard at her two jobs on campus, as a student assistant for the aerobics class and a peer mentor for the freshman year experince. When she is not on campus she can be found DJing at Stargate Nightclub in Superior. Mandee hopes to continue her sucess in their next game this weekend at River Falls.
