WILMINGTON, N.C. - Junior goalkeeper
Brock Duckworth was named Colonial Athletic Association Player-of-the-Week on
Monday and junior midfielder Daniel Roberts was named to Topdrawersoccer.com's
Team-of-the-Week after leading UNC Wilmington to a pair of key conference wins
over James Madison and George Mason and clinching a spot in the upcoming
conference tournament.
The victories also extended UNCW's unbeaten streak to nine, as the
Seahawks were 7-0-2 during that span and moved into first-place in the CAA.
Duckworth posted his fifth shutout of the season with a five-save effort
against James Madison as the Seahawks posted their first-ever win in Harrisonburg
with a 2-0 decision over the Dukes. He followed that outing with a one-save
game in a 2-1 win over George Mason that UNCW's second straight conference
tournament berth.
Roberts helped the Seahawks offensively, controlling play from his
central attacking midfield position. He notched a goal against JMU and then set
up the game-winner against George Mason.
The Seahawks close out their regular season with a 7 p.m. kickoff at
Hofstra on Nov. 7.
