GLIAC -- Saginaw Valley State University senior linebacker Michael Alexander has been named the GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week following the Cardinals' 10-0 road victory on Saturday at Michigan Tech. 

Alexander accumulated 13 tackles on the road as the Cardinals posted a 10-0 shutout victory over Michigan Tech. Alexander led the SVSU defense that picked-off three passes, recovering a fumble on a muffed punt and coming up with five stops on fourth down conversion attempts while sealing the deal to move the Cardinals to 5-0 for the first time since 2003.

Saginaw Valley continues on the road this upcoming weekend, playing at Ashland on Saturday (Oct. 6) in a 7:00 p.m. matchup.
