COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Mountain West Conference announced its 2005 women's soccer awards today at its pre-championship banquet in Las Vegas, Nev. The league's eight head coaches selected the all-conference first and second teams, Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Coach of the Year. The soccer championship begins Wednesday, Nov. 2, at Peter Johann Memorial Field on the UNLV campus.

Junior forward Amanda Feigt of Utah garnered Offensive Player of the Year honors, while Ute junior defender Melissa Wayman earned the Defensive Player of the Year award.

BYU, Utah and UNLV each placed three players on the all-MWC first team, while San Diego State and Wyoming each had one first-team honoree. Jenna Huff of UNLV was honored as the first-team goalkeeper.

Feigt was tabbed as Offensive Player of the Year after leading Utah to its second conference title and leading the league in goals (5) and points (11) in conference games. She also tied for first for game-winning goals (2). Wayman earned Defensive Player of the Year honors as she led Utah to an unbeaten conference season, which included four shutouts.
