After an undefeated weekend, Fresno State women’s soccer team senior Morgan Castain and junior Katie DeVault were named Mountain West Players of the Week.
Castain won her third career award in the offense category after playing a large role in both Bulldog victories. She tied the matchup against Nevada in the 22nd minute Friday and scored an insurance goal in Fresno State’s 3-1 win.
Then Sunday, she scored the lone goal in the Bulldogs’ 1-0 victory over UNLV. Her game-winning header was her third goal of the weekend.
Currently, she is third in the conference in shots (38), second in points per game (1.31) and tied for first in goals (8).
The midfielder was also named the College Sports Madness Mountain West Player of the Week and Fresno State Sysco Student-Athlete of the Week.
DeVault won in the defense category, the second of her career.
The goalkeeper saved 11 of 12 shots and led the Bulldogs to their third shutout of the year over UNLV. She had eight saves in that game alone.
She is now second on Fresno State’s all-time list with 290 career saves. She is third in the conference in saves per game (4.77) and second in saves (62).
The last time the duo took both awards was one year ago after a 2-0 victory over Wyoming on Oct. 6, 2012.
The Bulldogs will remain at home this week to host Utah State on Friday and Boise State on Sunday.
