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.
