University of Indianapolis senior running back and return specialist Klay Fiechter, Truman State University redshirt freshman defensive back Austin Zoda, and William Jewell College sophomore running back Thomas Cook, Jr., have been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Players of the Week, it was announced by the league office Monday.  Cook was named Offensive Player of the Week, Zoda was picked as Defensive Player of the Week, while Fiechter was selected as Special Teams Player of the Week.

Fiechter racked up 176 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns in the Greyhounds' 52-0 shutout of Kentucky Wesleyan Saturday.  All three of his scores came in the second quarter, allowing UIndy to break the game open on the way to a 45-0 lead at the half.  Fiechter compiled 79 yards on two punt returns while adding 97 rushing yards on just 10 carries.  He sandwiched a pair of rushing touchdowns around a 54-yard punt return for a score – his second return TD in as many weeks.  In what has seemingly become an event weekly for the veteran running back/return man, Fiechter broke yet another school record in the process.  The Bluffton, Ind., native upped his career all-purpose yards total to 5,359 to snap the program's 37-year-old benchmark, held previously by former Greyhound standout and Indiana Football Hall of Famer Dick Nalley (1975-76).  Fiechter leads the GLVC in punt return average (16.6 ypr), shares the league lead in total touchdowns (10) and ranks second in rushing (95.4 ypg).  Fiechter was named GLVC Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 14, but earns his third career special teams honor as he was recognized by the conference office on Sept. 17 and Oct. 1 last season.
