BEREA, Ohio – Baldwin Wallace University women's soccer All-Ohio Athletic Conference sophomore forward Rachel Bender (Massillon / Massillon Jackson) earns her first career OAC Women's Soccer Player-of-the-Week honor for her strong play last week.

Bender scored three goals and added two assists for a total of eight points in the Yellow Jackets first three games of the 2016 campaign. BW won the Herb Lauffer Memorial Tournament and Bender was named the MVP of the tournament. She scored two goals and added two assists in the two games with the last goal being the game-winner in the championship game.
