DENVER - Michele Adam has been named the TicketSmarter WAC Defensive Player of the Week (10/10-10/16). Adam helped lead a back line that pitched a shutout over UTRGV and completed a perfect 2-0 week.

Not only was Adam a key component in the Redhawks shutout over the Vaqueros, she was also involved in the attack, picking up an assist in the 5-0 win. Adam joins Kait Raffensperger and U'i Kaaihue as Redhawks to win the weekly honor this season.
