OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton men's soccer senior midfielder Joel Rydstrand earned BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week honors, the league announced on Monday morning.
Rydstrand recorded three assists as Creighton finished last week 2-0-0 to claim the BIG EAST regular-season title.
The Almunge, Sweden native, tallied assists on each of the Bluejays' two goals on Wednesday against Marquette and served a corner kick for Bryce Gibson's game-winning goal on Saturday at DePaul. Wednesday's performance marked his first multi-assist match in a Creighton uniform.
Rydstrand leads the Bluejays with five assists this season, including a BIG EAST-best four during league action.
