Release Date: October 4, 2005

MONMOUTH, Ill. – Monmouth College’s Justin Zigler (Tampico, Ill./Prophetstown) can add another honor to his trophy case.

Earlier this season, the Fighting Scots linebacker set the school record for tackles, and this week he has been named the Midwest Conference Defensive Performer of the week.

Zigler kickstarted the Scots’ offense Saturday with a 30-yard interception return for Monmouth’s first score in a 34-0 win over Lake Forest. The senior also added 10 tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack, a fumble recovery and a pass defended as Monmouth remained unbeaten on the year at 5-0. Monmouth leads the Midwest Conference with five games to play.

A physical education major, Zigler is the son of Steve and Brenda Zigler of Tampico.
