SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – St. Thomas’ Wes Lorrens and Omaha’s Nathanael Sallah were named the latest TickterSmarter #SummitMSOC weekly award winners, league officials announced Monday. Lorrens earned the offensive honor after leading the Tommies to their third straight win to close out the program’s first season at the Division I level, while Sallah led the Mavericks to the program’s first win at Denver with a 2-0 shutout.

Trailing 1-0 late in the match vs. Kansas City, Lorrens netted the equalizer in the 84^th minute to eventually force overtime. He then delivered the game-winning goal as the first overtime was winding down to give him his first career brace.
 
Sallah lifted the Mavericks to a crucial win in league play, recording a pair of saves in the victory over league-leading Denver. He made a save in each half and fended off six second-half corner kicks by the Mavericks to preserve Omaha’s third win in league play and move them into third place in the standings.
