INDIANAPOLIS- Senior running back Klay Fiechter earned his second GLVC Offensive Player of the Week honor of the season for his performance in UIndy's 45-7 victory at McKendree, announced by the league office Monday.

Fiechter racked up 217 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns in the Greyhounds' blowout win Saturday. The veteran running back notched his 12th career 100-yard rushing game after compiling 124 yards on just 14 carries (8.9 ypg).  He also tacked on 71 receiving yards and 22 punt returns yards to lead the Hounds to their 10th straight GLVC win.

The Bluffton, Ind., native's first touchdown came on the second play from scrimmage when sophomore quarterback Connor Barthel found Fiechter for a 71-yard bomb -- his fourth career score of 70 or more yards.

Fiechter's second TD also came in the first quarter. Already up 14-0, UIndy opted to go for it on 4th & 1 at the Bearcat 30. The decision more than payed off when Fiechter broke through the line to find open field for a 30-yard TD.

Also in the game, Fiechter moved past former Greyhound-standout Craig Jenkins (2004-08) for second place on the school's all-time rushing list. He ranks second in the league in rushing yards per game (98.2 ypg) and his 3,238 career rushing yards are just 321 yards shy of the program record.

UIndy takes to the road again this weekend in GLVC play, heading to William Jewell in continuing league play and its defense of the 2012 GLVC championship. First kick between the Greyhounds and the host Cardinals is set for 2 p.m. ET.
