ARLINGTON, Texas—Utah Valley redshirt junior defender Haley Funn and junior goalkeeper Leah Wolf have been named the Jersey Mike's A Sub Above WAC Women's Soccer Players of the Week, as announced by the Western Athletic Conference on Tuesday.
 
Funn, a native of Great Falls, Virginia, earns Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring the Utah Valley defense in a historic 2-0 shutout victory over in-state rival and Big 12 opponent Utah. The Wolverines secured their first-ever win over the Utes in nine tries, with Funn playing a crucial role in keeping Utah off the scoreboard. Her leadership and defensive prowess helped UVU control 55% of the match's possession, consistently making critical stops to protect the lead.
 
Wolf, hailing from Rochester Hills, Michigan, was named Goalkeeper of the Week after an outstanding performance between the posts. She secured the shutout win against Utah and played a pivotal second half in goal against No. 11 Utah State without conceding a goal. In total, Wolf played 135 minutes of flawless soccer, making 11 saves on the week. 
 
Utah Valley continues road play this week, traveling to Davis, California to play UC Davis on Thursday. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
