Seattle University men’s soccer’s Shane Haworth (Puyallup, Wash.) has been named GoSeattleU.com Featured Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Oct. 26-Nov. 1 after the nationally ranked Redhawks won their second Western Athletic Conference regular season title in the past three years last weekend.

On Sunday, Nov. 2, the Redhawks earned a 4-2 win vs. Incarnate Word to capture their second regular season league title in the past three years after winning in 2013, their first season in the league. With the win, SU earns the No. 1 seed in the WAC tournament next week as well as a first round bye in the tournament.

He has posted seven shutouts in 2015, playing all but 18 minutes in goal for Seattle U.

Off the field, Haworth also excels in the classroom with a 3.37 cumulative GPA as a strategic communications major.
