With less than five minutes to play in the team's opener at St. Joseph's (L.I.), Bhalla made a pretty cross into the box for teammate Addis Tefese to head home the game winner and break a scoreless tie in a 1-0 win on Saturday afternoon. He followed it up by netting the game-winning marker in a 6-0 rout of Mary Baldwin the next evening. This is the first Player of the Week award for Bhalla.
