MEMPHIS, Tenn. – After picking up a draw with #13 Charlotte and another conference win with a shutout victory over Temple, Colin Welsh, Alberto Cruz and Lineker Rodrigues dos Santos have found themselves on the list of the American Athletic Conference's Weekly Awards.
Welsh, a sophomore from Overland Park, Kan., snagged the Goalkeeper of the Week award after he made 10 combined saves and allowed just one goal in 180 minutes of work. Welsh picked up his third solo shutout of the season in team's 1-0 win over Temple and made a season-high seven saves in team's 1-1 draw with #13 Charlotte.
This is Welsh's second Goalkeeper of the Week award for the season and his third Weekly Award honor for his career.
Cruz, a freshman from Madrid, Spain, picked up another Rookie of the Week honor after he netted his sixth goal of the year when he scored the game-tying goal in team's 1-1 draw with #13 Charlotte.
This is Cruz's third Rookie of the Week award for the season.
Rodrigues dos Santos, a sophomore from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, had himself quite the week when he assisted on the game-tying goal in team's 1-1 draw with #13 Charlotte and scored the game-winning goal in Memphis' shutout victory over Temple.
This is the third Honor Roll award for Rodrigues dos Santos this year and the fourth time he has made the Weekly Awards list.
