Clarke Women’s Soccer Sweeps Heart Weekly Awards

The Clarke University women's soccer team swept this week's Heart of America Athletic Conference weekly awards on Monday, as Genevieve Cruz earned the Heart Offensive Player of the Week award and teammate Hope Ward was selected the Heart Defensive Player of the Week.

Cruz scored the game-winner in the Pride's 5-1 win over Evangel last week and then tacked on another goal. She attempted three shots in the victory, all on goal. The Racine, Wisconsin native also earned this award back on October 3.

Ward scored the game-tying goal for Clarke in the win over Evangel from 40-yards out and helped the Pride back line on defense hold Evangel to just five total shots and one on goal.

The Pride are 9-5-1 overall and 5-4 in Heart play this season.
