MILWAUKEE - Sophomore Molly Finn of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's swimming team has been named this week's Horizon League Women's Swimmer of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.

Finn played a key role in the Panthers dual victory against Wheaton Friday. She won two individual events and also helped the 400 freestyle relay team to a victory. She claimed victories in both the 200 butterfly (2:10.26) and 200 IM (2:11.54), giving her four victories in six races on the season.

This marks the third swimmer of the week award for Finn in her Panther career, after earning two as a freshman last season. It is also the third league honor of the season for the UWM women. Senior Lindsay Caldwell (Swimmer of the Week Oct. 18) and senior Emily Duesler (Diver of the Week Oct. 24) have also been recipients of Horizon League honors this season.

The women are off this week, continuing their schedule with a dual meet at Valparaiso November 11.
