DANBURY, Conn. — Each week, WestConn Athletics selects one female and one male student-athlete as the Wolves of the Week, recognizing their outstanding performances in their respective sports from the previous week. The honorees are announced every Wednesday. The second Wolves of the Week in the 2025-26 year have been selected for their stellar performances on the field and the court. Volleyball's senior Maggie Ferguson (Southbury, Conn.) and graduate defensive end Kile Jackson (Danbury, Conn.) have been named as Wolves of the Week.

Jackson blocked a PAT with 10 seconds left to preserve the victory, as the Wolves outlasted the visiting William Paterson University Pioneers, 21-20, in the football season opener for both teams this evening at Westside Stadium. WestConn took advantage of a William Paterson turnover to score first, as Jackson recovered a fumble forced by junior LB Eamon Moran (Stratford, Conn.) and senior RB Kamryn Holmes (Branford, Conn.) scampered into the end zone from 12 yards away with 8:34 left in the first quarter. He also totaled five tackles and 1.5 sacks for a total loss of 13 yards.

Ferguson dished out a match-high 25 assists in the win over the visiting Clark University Cougars. She averaged 9.50 assists per set while totaling 114 assists over a 2-1 week for the Wolves. She capped the week with 41 assists and 14 digs in a 3-2 victory over Rivier University on Saturday after opening the tri-match with 25 assists and nine digs in a sweep of Clark. Ferguson opened the week with a 48-assist, 18-dig performance in a 3-1 loss at Farmingdale State on Thursday.
