MARQUETTE, Mich. – For the second week in a row a Northern Michigan University soccer player has been named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference “Player of the Week”. Goalkeeper Jessica Baker (Holt, Mich.) was honored after leading the Wildcats to two wins last week.

Baker, a junior goalkeeper, led NMU to a 2-0 record last week with wins over Michigan Tech (3-1) and Ohio Dominican (1-0). Baker made seven saves in each game, while earning her second shutout of the season and fifth of her career in the win at ODU.
