ATLANTA – After leading North Dakota State to a victory over No. 7 St. John’s on Saturday, Bison junior attackman Brandon Wuertz earned Dominant Performance of the Week presented by Warrior for the period ending Feb. 23.

Fourth-ranked North Dakota State edged the Johnnies, 14-13, in Fargo and the Eagan, Minn., native scored four goals and dished out an assist.

His final goal was the biggest, as Wuertz struck with 10 seconds left for the decisive goal in the game.

In addition, Wuertz was critical to the Bison’s 10-man ride, causing four turnovers and gobbling up three ground balls.

“Brandon is the type of player who always brings it come game day,” said North Dakota State coach Zach Bosh. “Last year, the way it ended for us and him personally, I feel caused Brandon to play with a chip on his shoulder. I feel confident that we will see this sort of effort from him each and every game this season.”

For his efforts in earning the Dominant Performance of the Week presented by Warrior, Wuertz will receive a new Warrior Burn 2 – a $90 value. Warrior is a proud supporter of the MCLA.
