BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - One day after earning College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Offensive Player of the Week accolades, senior Anthony Marre (Bloomingdale, Ill.-Glenbard North) of the Illinois Wesleyan University football team was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week as announced Tuesday morning, Nov. 2. It is the fourth time a Titan has been named to the national team of the week this season, while it is the first time an IWU running back has been recognized.

Marre led an Illinois Wesleyan rushing attack that motored for 429 yards, the most by the Titans since rushing for 447 against Lakeland, Sept. 29, 1965. Marre headlined the run game with 243 yards on 16 carries, both of which were career-highs. His rushing total marked the third-highest in program history and the most since Deon Hornsby tallied 244 Sept. 14, 1996. The Bloomingdale, Ill. native rushed for three scores, including a 91-yard scamper, while he also added five catches for 72 yards.

Illinois Wesleyan hits the road for the final time this weekend, Nov. 6, when the Titans travel to No. 6 Wheaton College for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
