IRVING, Texas - The Baylor soccer team picked up a pair of conference honors, as Lisa Sliwinski was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week and Courtney Seelhorst earned Defensive Player of the Week the Big 12 Conference office announced Tuesday.

Sliwinski, who earned her first conference award, scored three of Baylor's five goals over the weekend, leading the Bears to road wins over Kansas and Iowa State. Her pair of goals in a 3-1 win over the Jayhawks marked second multi-goal game of her career, while her score against the Cyclones proved to be the game winner in a 2-0 victory.
