Corby wins GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week

Grand Valley State junior Marti Corby was named GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 23. The award marks the second time in a row Corby has been tabbed with the accolade, along with the third time this season. Corby has been on a tear as of late, scoring eight goals in the Lakers’ past three games.

In a Sept. 18 tilt against Findlay, Corby netted a hat trick. Two days later, Corby added two goals in GVSU’s 7-0 win over Lake Erie. She followed that performance up with another hat trick — this time in a 6-1 win over Saginaw Valley State on Sept. 22 — which brought her goal total up to 11 on the season. Corby’s 11 goals and 26 points lead all Division II players in the nation in both categories.
