Jose Garay and Robert Carrillo were named as KCAC Men’s Soccer Players of the Week for their efforts in helping Kansas Wesleyan go 1-1 last week in matches against No.9 Park University and Sterling College.

Garay was named as the KCAC Co-Offensive Player of the Week, and Carrillo earned KCAC Defensive Player of the Week honors for the second straight week.

In Wednesday’s match at No.9 ranked Park University, Garay had one assist in the match which KWU lost 4-1 to the Pirates. In Saturday’s match against Sterling College, Garay scored two goals and had one assist as the Coyotes beat the Warriors 3-0.

Garay shared the honor with McPherson’s Armando Rodriguez, who scored one goal and had one assist in one match in a 3-0 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

Despite giving up four goals to the nationally ranked Pirates on Wednesday night in Parkville, Mo., Carrillo pitched a shut out against Sterling in the Coyotes’ KCAC opener Saturday. In 180 minutes of play, Carrillo had four goals against, and recorded three total saves.

Kansas Wesleyan resumes its KCAC schedule this week, facing Bethel College on Wednesday and McPherson College on Saturday as part of KWU’s Homecoming 2008. The Bethel matches will begin with the women at 1 p.m. at the Salina Soccer Complex on East Magnolia Avenue, and the McPherson matches will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday at Salina Stadium.
