Matt Bahena named GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week

Purdue Northwest's Matt Bahena has earned Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors, the league office announced on Tuesday.

Bahena, a senior from Alsip, Illinois, scored two goals and recorded an assist in PNW's 3-2 comeback win over Upper Iowa last Saturday. He tied the game and scored the go-ahead goal in a span of 10:33 in the second half. It was his third career game-winner and the second brace of his career. Bahena also assisted on PNW's first goal to kickstart the second-half rally after the Pride faced an early 2-0 deficit.

Bahena previously won GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week during his sophomore season in Fall 2018.

PNW returns to action on Sunday, March 14 when it travels to Ashland.
