CLEVELAND - - After leading all league players with three goals last week, Ball State soccer senior forward Avery Fenchel has been named the Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Week.

Fenchel, who earns the honor for the first time in her illustrious career, started the week by scoring her second brace in as many games in the Cardinals' 2-1 win at Akron last Thursday. She scored the opening goal of the match in the 17th minute and followed with the match-winner in the 87th, helping Ball State climb to first in the MAC standings.
