SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Omaha junior forward Hugo Kametani and Kansas City defender Alexander Glynn were named the Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively, league officials announced Monday.
 
Kametani scored a pair of goals against league-leading Oral Roberts last week in what saw the Mavericks end game one in a 1-1 draw and game two with a 2-1 overtime victory. In game one, Kametani scored the equalizer in the 81st minute to force overtime. In game two, the Kashima, Japan native netted the golden goal in the 93rd minute to capture the win against the Golden Eagles. Kametani finished the weekend with five shots and three on goal.
