Sarah Puntel, a junior from Stripongsville, has been named the Ohio Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Week.

The junior earns the honor for the first time in her career.

Puntel led Northern offensively as the No. 15-ranked Polar Bears posted a 2-0-0 record during the week, defeating Heidelberg and John Carroll.

In the contest against Heidelberg, Puntel scored an unassisted goal in the 27th minute that would prove to be the game-winner for ONU.

The junior would then seal the deal in the contest against John Carroll as she capitalized on a PK to help ONU claim a 2-0 victory over JCU.

Northern returns to action on Wednesday evening at 7 pm as it travels to Wilmington to take on the Quakers at Townsend Field.
