PROVIDENCE, R.I. (SMU/The American) – Jared Rice was named the American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, while DJ Williams Jr. was selected to the weekly honor roll, the conference announced Monday.

Rice picked up his second career weekly award after leading the Mustangs backline to a 2-1 victory last weekend against UCF. He was credited with his fourth assist of the season when he launched a perfect cross from the far wing to Williams for the game-winning goal in the 75th minute. The Dallas native headed the ball into the back of the net for his first goal of the season and second in his career.

SMU continues conference play at Temple Saturday, Oct. 7. The match is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. CT.
