For the third time this season, a UTSA soccer Roadrunner has been announced for major weekly honors from the American Conference, as officials from the league office announced Monday that Kameron Kloza has been named American Defensive Player of the Week for her efforts in the rivalry win over North Texas. In addition, senior Izzy Lane (her first career conference honor at UTSA) and junior Jasmine Kessler (her third Honorable Mention of the season and fourth overall honor of the year) received Honorable Mention in the weekly accolades.
