Fuller was tabbed the OAC Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Polar Bears with three goals, six points, and 13 total shot attempts last week. She would supply both goals and the game-winning strike in a 2-0 nonconference victory over Wittenberg on Tuesday evening while she added her third brace of the week in a 4-0 triumph over conference foe Marietta on Saturday. She has scored in six straight matches dating back to a 3-0 win over Trine (Ind.) on September 14.

The sophomore now leads the Ohio Athletic Conference with nine goals and is tied for the league lead with 18 points on the season.

Grierson earned her second successive OAC Defensive Player of the Week nomination after claiming both victories in net over the week. She would need just one save in the two matches to record her sixth and seventh shutouts of the season against Wittenberg and Marietta, respectively, giving her 27 clean sheets throughout her career at Ohio Northern.

Due to her efforts last week, she now leads the Ohio Athletic Conference in goals against average (0.44) and total goals against (4).
