Seniors Anne Hafeli (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) of Oakland’s women’s basketball team and Jeff Wiese (Omaha, Neb.) of the men’s soccer team were named the 2005-06 recipients of the Hollie Lepley Senior Scholar-Athlete Award.

The awards recognize the top senior scholar-athletes for overall excellence in academic achievement, athletic achievement and service activities.

A four-time letterwinner for the Golden Grizzlies, Hafeli was named the 2006 Mid-Con Tournament MVP after leading Oakland to its second tournament title in March, averaging 20.3 points and 7.0 rebounds in OU’s three-game sweep to the title and its second NCAA Tournament berth. Hafeli, a two-time All-Mid-Con selection, finished her senior season as OU’s second leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 14.1 points and 5.5 boards a game. The marketing major finished her career as Oakland’s eighth all-time leading scorer with 1,472 points

Jeff Wiese

The Mid-Con Defensive Player of the Year in each of the last two seasons, he is the second OU soccer player to earn All-Mid-Con honors four times. A financial information systems major, Wiese was a three-time Academic All-Mid-Con player as well as a three-time NSCAA Great Lakes All-Region selection.
