PROVIDENCE, R.I. (American/SMU) - Following a 0-1-1 week in non-conference action, SMU men's soccer player Mauro Cichero was honored by the American Athletic Conference as the Offensive Player of the Week.

Cichero, a sophomore forward from Norman, Oklahoma, scored both of the Mustang's two goals in the 4-2 loss to Boston College and registered a team-leading four shots. The forward had an exceptional weekend scoring in just the fifth minute against Harvard to contribute to SMU's two goals in the 2-2 double overtime draw.

Cichero currently leads the American Conference in goals (3), points (8) and is ranked second in shots (16).

The Mustangs return to the Hilltop to host Portland on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. CT and No 16 Stanford on Sunday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. For ticket information, go to http://www.smumustangs.com/tickets/.
