CHICAGO --- Robert Morris University senior goalkeeper Milco Risteski (Palatine, Ill.) has been named the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for the second time in three weeks, while Olivet Nazarene University sophomore midfielder Todd Bevan (Schererville, Ind.) has gained Offensive Player of the Week honors for the first time in his brief career, it was announced on Tuesday morning by the conference office.

Risteski stopped five shots on goal in 100 minutes to blank NAIA No. 7-ranked Bethel University (Tenn.) in a 1-0 overtime victory on Friday in the Eagles' lone game of the week.  The shutout was Risteski's third of the season and kept the No. 20-ranked Eagles unbeaten at 5-0-1.

Bevan, meanwhile, tallied a goal in each of Olivet Nazarene's two victories on the week and totaled five points over the two games.  Besides his goal in a 3-1 victory over Grace College (Ind.) on Tuesday, he was also credited with one assist.  Bevan's other goal tied the game in an eventual 2-1 overtime victory against Indiana Institute of Technology - a team receiving votes in last week's NAIA poll - on Saturday.

The two wins bumped Olivet Nazarene's overall record up to 4-2 on the season.
