A two-goal, two-assist performance by MSU soccer senior forward Thomas Trivelloni last week won him Big Ten Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week honors.

Trivelloni's efforts helped MSU to two double-overtime wins over Loyola (Ill.) and Ohio State.

The Spartans beat Loyola (Ill.) 3-2 Wednesday as Trivelloni assisted on MSU's first goal of the match. In the 102nd minute he ended the game on an unassisted goal.

MSU's Sunday match with Ohio State went a similar way as Trivelloni netted a game-tying goal in the 80th minute to send the game into the first overtime. In the second overtime, Trivelloni's pass set up sophomore forward Ryan McMahen, who found the back of the net.

For the season, Trivelloni is tied for the team lead with three assists and is ranked second on the team with five goals.
