Rector, a dual sport athlete, was named the female athlete of the week after helping both the Patriots cheer and dance team earn wins on the week.  She began the week helping the UC cheer team record a win and a third place finish at the UC Invite.  Cumberlands scored an 82.92 in the second round to notch their first win of the season and score their highest mark in a season-opener.  UC cheer is currently ranked sixth in the country with a 78.51 average.  Rector followed that up by aiding the Patriots dance team to their first two competition wins in program history. Taking part in the UC Invite, the dance team recorded a 69.03 in the first round to notch its first win as a NAIA championship sport. Rector and the team followed that up with a 70.33 in round two to complete the sweep.
