Laurier midfielder Tierney Dunham (Waterdown, Ont.) has been named the Investors Group OUA Athlete of the Week after scoring both goals this weekend for the Golden Hawks.
After falling behind the visiting Windsor Lancers 1-0 on Saturday afternoon, Dunham, a fourth-year general arts student-athlete, scored the equalizer for Laurier just two minutes later, as the Golden Hawks held on for a 1-1 draw.
On Sunday, Dunham once again was the only source of offence for the Golden Hawks. Just as she had done the day before, the Waterdown, Ont. native found the back of the net in the 26th minute to tie the game 1-1. The Hawks would hold the No. 10 ranked Mustangs off the board the rest of the way to preserve the 1-1 draw.
After being held scoreless for the first three years of her Golden Hawks career, Dunham appears to be heating up at the perfect time as she has now found the back of the net in three of her last four games.
Dunham and the Golden Hawks return to action this weekend as they head north to Sault Ste. Marie to take on the Algoma Thunderbirds.
