TicketsAmerican Athletic Conference Release
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A pair of University of Cincinnati men's soccer student-athletes were selected as winners of American Athletic Conference Weekly Awards Monday with freshman midfielder Sean Clarke tabbed as Offensive Player & Rookie of the Week while redshirt freshman Pearce Skinner was picked as Goalkeeper of the Week.
Both were crucial in helping the Bearcats to back-to-back wins on the road last week against nationally-ranked teams.
Clarke (Baltimore, Md./Loyola Blakefield) scored the game winner in a 1-0 win at No. 13 Kentucky on Tuesday. He then recorded a goal and an assist in a 3-1 victory at No. 19 Bowling Green on Saturday. In total, he tallied four shots including both on goal going for scores during the week.
Skinner (Grand Blanc, Mich./Grand Blanc) shutout UK with a career-high nine saves in the upset in Lexington. He followed with four saves in a 3-1 triumph in Bowling Green. Over the week, Skinner totaled a 93% save percentage and a 0.50 goals against average.
UC has been honored by the AAC multiple times already this season with David Sanz (Santander, Spain/IE La Marina) being selected to the Weekly Honor Roll twice -- Aug. 28 and Sept. 4 -- while freshman Darryn Commissiong (Pickering, Ontario/St. Mary Catholic) was named Rookie of the Week, freshman Noah Lawrence (Mitchellville, Md.) was picked as Goalkeeper of the Week, junior Malik Suleman (Kumasi, Ghana/Cincinnati State) was selected as Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 4.

The Bearcats will return to action on Saturday, Sept. 23 when they welcome the Memphis Tigers to Gettler Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff in both teams' American Athletic Conference opener. Admission to the match is free as part of the season-long Experience UC initiative.
