BRIGHTON, Mich. – Sophomore Zack Pillow has been named this week's Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Football Offensive Athlete of the Week, the conference announced Monday.

This is the fifth time this season that the MIAA has recognized one of the Thunder, the third time for the offensive unit. This is the first time that Pillow has earned the award at Trine.

The Melbourne, Fla. native's record-breaking day clinched the win in the Border Brawl rivalry game against Adrian College. He finished the day with a program record 17 catches and four touchdowns while compiling 180 yards receiving. He saved his most important catch for last, hauling in his fourth touchdown of the day to clinch the 45-42 victory with just nine seconds remaining.

The Thunder remained unbeaten in MIAA play after the win, improving to 6-1 overall. They will face their biggest test of the season next week, in a game with conference championship implications. Nationally ranked and undefeated Calvin University will come to town on Saturday, October 31. The Knights and Thunder represent two of three teams still undefeated in MIAA play, with Hope College being the third. All three teams still play each other. Next week's game is scheduled to kickoff at 1:00 p.m.
