CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Senior Abigail Gugel and freshman Sophia Jacobs-Townsley of the Boston University women's cross country team each earned a weekly award from the Patriot League, the conference announced on Tuesday.
Gugel was selected as the league's Runner of the Week while Jacobs-Townsley secured Rookie of the Week accolades for the second time in three weeks. The duo was instrumental in the Terriers' victory at the 6.17K Princeton Invitational on Saturday. Gugel finished fourth in a 212-harrier field with a time of 21:21.2 while Jacobs-Townsley was seventh with a time of 21:28.5.

BU will return to competition on Nov. 2 when the Terriers take aim at the Patriot League Championship at Colgate.
