TALLAHASSEE, Fla./INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Oakland men's soccer student-athlete Noah Jensen was named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week for the period ending Sept. 2 and also was named Nike Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week, announced by the league office on Tuesday.
 
Jensen, a sophomore from Courtice, Ontario, helped Oakland to a perfect 3-0 road record for the week from his defensive midfield position including a 2-0 mark at the Hampton Inn at Loyola Chicago Classic in which the Golden Grizzlies allowed only two total goals in wins at DePaul and Loyola. Offensively, he also scored a goal off a penalty kick and recorded an assist in the 6-1 win over the Ramblers and was named All-Tournament Team MVP.
 
With the three road wins, Oakland is unbeaten on the season at 3-0-1 and sits at No. 20 in the latest Top Drawer Soccer.com Top-25 National Ranking. The Golden Grizzlies open league play against two-time defending league champion UIC on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 12 p.m. at the Oakland Soccer Field.
