ADA — Ohio Northern junior Sandra Thorarensen has been named OAC Player of the Week for the Week of Sept. 9-15.

On Saturday, Thorarensen reordered her first career hat trick to lead the Ohio Northern women's soccer team (3-2-1 overall) to a 4-1 victory over Ohio Wesleyan.

She got the Polar Bears on the board first in the 24th minute when she put a rebound in off of a shot by junior Kristina Klusek.

Her second goal expanded Northern's lead to 2-0, when senior Lauren Brown sent a cross that she sent in from six yards out.

Thorarensen's third goal came in the 82nd minute when sophmore Hannah Moloney sent a pass to the right that she put in the net.

This season, Thorarensen leads the Polar Bears in scoring with nine points on four goals and an assist.

Ohio Northern will return to action on Tuesday, when it hosts Denison at 4 pm at the ONU Soccer Field.
