Three University at Buffalo athletes were honored by the Mid-American Conference for their performances last week.

Freshman forward Stephanie Velez and senior goalkeeper Amy Coron earned MAC Offensive and Defensive Women’s Soccer Player of the Week Awards, while redshirt junior Kelsey Lueders was named MAC East Defensive Player of the Week in volleyball.

The women’s soccer team went 2-0 during the week, defeating Western Michigan 2-1 and blanking Northern Illinois, 2-0. Velez scored three of UB’s four goals, while Coron notched 18 saves in the two victories.

Lueders posted 11 blocks, two digs, two aces and seven kills in a thrilling five-set win over Akron, and added three blocks in a loss to Ball State.
