SEWARD, Neb. – After two strong offensive showings in the past two contests, the Bulldogs have collected another weekly honor from the league office on Tuesday (Oct. 22). Martin Herrera was named the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for his play from Oct. 14-20. Herrera is the first offensive player to win the award in 2024 but joins three time honoree Nolan Fuelberth and defender Michael Wyvill.

Herrera, a senior from Quito, Ecuador, tallied three goals and an assist on the week as the Bulldogs earned road wins over Doane and Waldorf. With the help of Herrera's attacking exploits, Concordia produced its highest single game goal total (10) since 2016. The ISM Academy product scored two in the match against the Tigers to give the Bulldogs breathing room in the second half.

Herrera pushed his team high goal count to eight on the season, which ties him for fourth in the conference. He also has three assists this season.

Concordia will face Mount Marty this Saturday in Yankton, S.D. for its final road trip of the regular season slate.
