CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- Simpson men's soccer's Jordy Triana-Vasquez was selected as the American Rivers Conference Male Athlete and Offensive Player of the Week after connecting on two game-winning goals last week, the league announced Monday.

The freshman scored in the 42nd minute to help lift the Storm to a 4-1 win over Coe on Wednesday before finishing off his impressive week with the game-winner in the 74th minute to defeat Luther 2-1.

Simpson is sitting at 13-1-1 overall and is 3-0 in A-R-C play. The Storm look to remain unbeaten in conference competition with a road match at Buena Vista at 7:30 p.m. this Tuesday.
