INDIANAPOLIS — Oakland men's soccer team midfielder Dylan Borczak was named Nike® Horizon League Offensive Player of the Week for the first time this season, as the league office announced weekly awards on Monday afternoon. 

Borczak, a redshirt senior from Detroit, Mich., posted six points on three goals to lead the Golden Grizzlies to victories over Green Bay and Wright State in Horizon League play. Borczak had his first multi-goal performance of the 2021 season in OU's 3-2 comeback win at Wright State, as he scored in the ninth and 85th minute of the contest. Both scores were equalizers in the eventual overtime triumph. He added a goal in Oakland's 3-1 victory versus Green Bay at home.

On the season, Borczak ranks second on the team and sixth in the conference in goals (5). He also has 12 points through 13 matches, tied for second amongst teammates and seventh in the HL. 

The Golden Grizzlies will continue their road swing with a non-conference matchup at Louisville on Tuesday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m.
