Dale Tabbed Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week

After recording her sixth and seventh braces of the season, senior Eleanor Dale earned her third Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honor on Tuesday.

Dale currently leads the country and conference in total goals (17) and game winners (6), while also leading the conference in shots (76), shots on goal (35) and points (36). Last week, she scored four finishes combined, including a game-winner in the Huskers’ 3-2 victory over Northwestern.

This week’s conference award is Dale’s third of the season and her career, as Dale is the first Husker to earn Offensive Player of the Week since Faith Carter received the nod on Sept. 25, 2018. This recognition is the third overall weekly award of the season, and first since Sami Hauk (Goalkeeper of the Week) and forward Abbey Schwarz (Freshman of the Week) won their respective awards in 2021.

The Huskers, who are 8-2-3 and 2-1-2 in Big Ten, return to action on Saturday, Oct. 7 at home against Iowa for Senior Day. Action is slated to begin at 1:05 p.m. (CT) and will be streamed on Big Ten Plus.
