INDIANAPOLIS - For the second time this season, Marian's senior quarterback, Tristan Polk has been named as the MSFA Midwest League Offensive Player of the Week. Polk's honor comes after his efforts in engineering Marian's come-from-behind victory against Indiana Wesleyan on Saturday.

Marian's quarterback dialed up his clutch gene on Saturday, leading the Knights' comeback against Indiana Wesleyan as the Knights won the shootout 52-42. Polk accounted for 261 passing yards and another 63 rushing yards in the win, totaling four combined touchdowns on the afternoon. The quarterback had touchdown passes of 51, 74, and 5 yards in the victory, and with 45 seconds left, executed a 29-yard quarterback draw to score the go-ahead touchdown in the win over IWU. 

Polk's comeback drive was his fourth game-winning or game-tying touchdown drive in the last five minutes of regulation in his two-year career as the starting Marian quarterback. The effort Saturday was his first comeback drive of the season, breaking the plane with 45 seconds to play to give the Knights a then 45-42 advantage. 

Polk and the Knights travel to Michigan this weekend for their second road trip of the season, as Marian travels to Madonna for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff on Saturday.
