SEATTLE (Sept. 7) ­ Seattle Pacific University goalkeeper James Ward (Sr., Salem, Or/Sprague) was named men's soccer co-player of the week in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference after helping the Falcons extend their unbeaten string to three games.

Ward earned all-tournament honors at the Seawolf Classic by saving six of seven shots on goal. He recorded his 16th career shutout versus Cal State San Bernardino, a 2-0 win, and made a point-blank save to preserve the 1-1 draw with Sonoma. He also made seven saves in a 1-0 home defeat of Cal Poly Pomona.

Ward's goals-against average of 0.47 leads the GNAC. Joining him on the all-tournament team was freshman defender Drew Macha (Fr., Eugene, Or./Marist).

Seattle Pacific (2-1-1) resumes play Thursday at San Francisco State.
