BAY CITY, Mich. — The GLIAC announced its week five men's soccer accolades on Tuesday, with Saginaw Valley's junior defender Omar Sinclair earning the GLIAC defensive player of the week honors for Men's Soccer.

Sinclair's defense over this past weekends contests against GLIAC opponents Ashland and Davenport, secured #13 Saginaw Valley with two shutout victories. The SVSU defense held strong against Ashland on Friday, never allowing a shot on goal the entire 90 minutes of play, earning the team a 1-0 win against the Eagles. Sunday afternoon, the Cardinals defense stayed strong against the leading goal-scoring team in the conference, Davenport, to a scoreless contest for the Panthers. Saginaw Valley took the game 1-0 for a clean sweep of the weekends GLIAC match ups.

Connor Rutz also earned honorable mention for GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week.

SVSU remains tied at the top spot of the GLIAC standings with Northwood heading into Wednesday's match up (Oct. 4) against the Timberwolves. Kick-off is set for 3 p.m.
