EDISON, NJ - After scoring both goals in Niagara's 2-0 win over Saint Peter's on Saturday night, junior Gabriel Mikina has been named MAAC Offensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday afternoon. 

Mikina scored a goal on either side of the break to help Niagara defeat the visiting Peacocks in MAAC men's soccer action. The goals were the juniors first two of the season, which is second on the team. 

Saturday marked the second time in Mikina's career that he scored twice in a single contest, the other coming last season against Monmouth. 

The first-place Purple Eagles will travel to Emmitsburg, Md., for a battle with the MAAC's newest member, Mount St. Mary's on Saturday, Oct. 8.
