For the first time this season, Campbellsville University has swept the men's soccer Mid-South Conference Player of the Week awards as Ramiro Sanchez and James Clements both received honors.

Sanchez, a sophomore forward from Cali, Columbia, netted three goals on the week to earn the Mid-South Conference Offensive Player of the Week award. His first two came in the second half to bring the Tigers back from a 2-1 deficit to beat No. 22-ranked University of the Cumberlands, 3-2, for the first time ever.

Sanchez went on to score a goal against St. Catharine to move into a tie for third place on the Mid-South Conference scoring list with eight goals. Sanchez has scored five of his eight goals in the past three games, putting CU on a three-game win streak.

"There's an adjustment period always for those (internationals) coming in. Ramiro's really stepped up and been courageous and brave, and that's all you can ask for a forward," CU head coach Adam Preston said. "We've been asking him to play more of a target man, but he's been a beast on set pieces."

Clements collected eight saves in a pair of conference wins last week to earn MSC Defensive Player of the Week. The Lebanon, Ky., sophomore goalkeeper stopped six shots in the Tigers' win over Cumberlands and followed with two saves against St. Catharine. He is second in the conference with 56 saves this season.

James Clements

"This whole season, in the low points, he's been what's kept us going and in the high points he's been a great leader, Preston said of Clements. "He's been making huge saves the past few games. He's a dream to coach."

The Tigers (6-7-2, 3-2 MSC) host West Virginia Tech on Tuesday.
