Lake Forest College women's soccer player Nina Perkkio was named Midwest Conference Offensive Performer of the Week on Monday for her performance in a pair of Forester victories in league play last week.
Perkkio netted a pair of goals in the team's 4-1 victory over visiting Carroll University on Wednesday. She gave the home team the early lead with a score at the 9:05 mark and then tacked on the Foresters' fourth goal early in the second half. It was her second career two-goal game.
Lake Forest edged out Lawrence University 2-1 on the road on Saturday and Perkkio assisted on the game-winning goal with just 4:02 remaining in the contest.
Perkkio now has nine points on three goals and three assists this season.
MWC Performers of the Week are selected by the league's director of media and information.
