Bernhardt was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week after breaking the all-time program record for career goals. The five goals the Florida native scored on April in then-No. 3 Maryland’s 17-10 victory over then-No. 19 Penn State broke Matt Rambo’s previous record of 155 goals.
Bernhardt is the second player in Big Ten history to earn the weekly honor four times in a single season.
Makar earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for the first time after causing a both career-high three turnovers and grabbing a career-high five ground balls in the victory over the Nittany Lions. He helped hold Penn State to just eight goals before the final two minutes of the game.
