DENVER, COLORADO – University of the Incarnate Word sophomore forward Ben Conway (Wigan, England/Hawkley Hall) was named the Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week for October 13-19.

Conway scored a goal in each of the Cardinals' two road wins this past weekend.  He scored the opening goal at Bakersfield in a 2-1 overtime victory on Friday and then headed a goal in the second half of a 1-0 win at San Jose State on Sunday.  For the week, Conway attempted six shots with three on goal.  The two wins moved Incarnate Word to the top of the WAC standings at 4-0 in conference play.

Conway was the third UIW player to be honored with a player of the week award from the WAC this year.  Noah Keats (Exeter, England/The King's School) was the offensive player of the week twice while Joe Brown (Nottingham, England/The Becket School) won a defensive player of the week award.

The Cardinals are at home this week for a pair of WAC matches.  They host UNLV on Friday at 8 p.m. and then welcome Grand Canyon to town on Sunday at 2 p.m.
