Blake claims her second consecutive Offensive Player of the Week accolade after extending her scoring streak to 10 games with back-to-back multi-point efforts against Indiana and Ball State last weekend. She recorded one goal and one assist in a 4-1 victory over Indiana, while also posting two goals and two assists versus Ball State to give the Wolverines their fourth-straight victory. In just 10 games this season, Blake has already registered career highs in goals and points, while needing just four more helpers to match her personal-high assist mark.
