Northwest Missouri State University women's soccer student-athletes Makenna West and Lily Ellis were honored for the second team this season at MIAA Athletes of the Week.

Junior Makenna West was named MIAA Offensive Athlete of the Week honors for the second time this season. Senior Lily Ellis tallied MIAA Goalkeeper of the Week status. It marks the eighth time in Ellis's Bearcat career she has earned the MIAA Goalkeeper of the Week award.

West scored a goal in both of Northwest's MIAA home wins over Fort Hays State and Nebraska-Kearney. West added the second goal in Friday's 2-0 triumph over Fort Hays State in the 77th minute. On Sunday, West posted the game-winning goal in the 20th minute to lift Northwest to a 1-0 win over Nebraska-Kearney. It was West's team-leading fourth game-winning goal of the season. West leads the Bearcats with five goals. 

Ellis collected back-to-back shutouts against Fort Hays State and Nebraska-Kearney to move her season total to eight clean sheets, including six shutouts in MIAA play. Ellis made 10 saves in Friday's 2-0 win over Fort Hays State. Ellis added six saves in Sunday's 1-0 triumph over Nebraska-Kearney.

The No. 23-ranked Bearcats (9-3 overall, 6-1 MIAA) will travel to Missouri Southern Friday for a 6 p.m. kick in Joplin, Mo. Northwest will make the trek to Pittsburg State Sunday for a 1 p.m. start in Pittsburg, Kan.
