FORT WORTH, Texas - Texas Wesleyan goalkeeper Steven Deering was selected player of the week by the Red River Athletic Conference Tuesday morning.

     Deering, a native of Highland Village, Texas, posted a pair of shutouts with 180 minutes in goal last week for the Rams, which moved to 3-0 in the conference play and 8-4 overall on the season. The freshman was perfect as Texas Wesleyan set a team record with 23 goals against Dallas Christian College. He followed with four saves in a 3-0 defeat of CSW. Deering has now posted five shutouts this season with a goal against average of 1.42 per game.

     "Steven has a lot of responsibility in goal this season," head coach Steve Jones said. "He is young but is showing a lot of leadership on defense. He has made some spectacular saves this season."

     The Rams will be back in action Saturday, when they host Texas A&M-International at 3 p.m. Both teams sit tied atop the Red River Conference with perfect 3-0 records.
