EVANSTON, Ill. -- Sophomore Brad North (The Woodlands, Texas/The Woodlands) was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts in the Puma Soccer Classic last weekend.
North scored both Wildcat goals in a 2-1 victory over Eastern Illinois Sunday to give Northwestern the tournament championship--NU's third consecutive tourney title this season.
The honor is the first of North's career and the second straight Big Ten Offensive POW award for Northwestern. Sophomore Will Nicholas (Orefield, Pa./Parkland) received the nod last week for the Wildcats.
