Indianapolis, Ind. - Senior linebacker Sam Weihrauch has been named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Defensive Player of the Week following a standout performance in the University of Findlay's 31-16 road victory over Northwood.

Weihrauch was a disrupter throughout the game, recording eight tackles, including 3.0 sacks, while also forcing and recovering a fumble. His efforts came against a Northwood offense that had committed just one turnover all season prior to Saturday's contest.

The Oilers' defense continued its dominant stretch, holding the G-MAC's second-ranked offense to just 30 rushing yards, marking the third consecutive game in which Findlay has allowed 30 or fewer yards on the ground.
