Grand Rapids, Mich. – The Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference announced its players of the week for the past week of March 19th – 24th. After terrorizing Lourdes, Cooper Nienhuis garnered his second consecutive WHAC Offensive Player of the Week award.

Nienhuis' incredible start to the season continued this past Saturday (Mar. 23) against Lourdes. Nienhuis scored eight goals and assisted three more for 11 points on the day. His eight goals and 11 points both fell just two short of the respective all-time records.
