The American Athletic Conference weekly awards were announced on Monday afternoon and the South Florida Bulls had several players in multiple sports honored after strong performances as a whole.

In football and soccer, USF had a very good week, going a combined 4-0. Volleyball did struggle this past week. After winning their home opener on Tuesday against North Florida, the Bulls dropped all three of their matches in the Gator Invitational in Gainesville to host Florida (3-1), Long Beach State (3-2) and James Madison (3-0).

A bright spot for the Bulls was taking the third set, 25-19, over Florida, ranked No. 10 in America.

Meanwhile, football netted their first win of the 2019 season with a 55-16 drubbing of South Carolina State.

In his first start, redshirt freshman Jordan McCloud was named to the AAC Honor Roll for his performance.

McCloud shined in the game, completing his passes at a 59.3% rate (16-for-27), good for 217 yards and three scores through the air. On the ground, the Plant High alumnus netted 56 yards on 12 carries with two more scores. His five touchdown performance was the second-best scoring debut by a USF freshman, behind only Marquell Blackwell (six).

"It's just something I dreamed of as a kid," McCloud said after the game.

Meanwhile, men's soccer put together two quality wins this past week. The Bulls dominated No. 5 Louisville to a 2-0 decision at Corbett Stadium on Monday night before traveling to Nashville on Friday to down Lipscomb 3-1. USF has won three straight matches since dropping the season-opener to top-ranked Maryland on the road.

For their strong efforts during the week, the Bulls took three of the four Player of the Week awards.

Sophomore defender Javain Brown was named the AAC Defensive Player of the Week after limiting the opposition to a single goal in their two games. The Kingston, Jamaica native played all 90 minutes against Louisville and registered 84 against Lipscomb on Friday.

While everyone talks about Australian punter Trent Schneider (and rightfully so), USF has another athlete from Down Under that has made waves. Senior goalkeeper Harrison Devenish-Meares was named Goalkeeper of the Week after two solid nights in net. He registered his first clean sheet of the season with the shutout against Louisville and made eight total saves on nine SOG.

8 saves, 1 shutout (over a ranked opponent) and a perfect record.

Through four games, the Sydney native holds a 0.75 GAA and a .800 SV% with a 3-1 record.

After a selection to the AAC Weekly Honor Roll, freshman striker Victor Claudel was named Rookie of the Week after scoring in the 19th minute against Louisville on Monday night, registered as the game-winning goal. It was his second in as many games. He registered five shots on target in 129 minutes played.

His goal in the 19th minute gave @USFMSOC a lasting 2-0 lead over Louisville.

St. Petersburg Catholic graduate Emilio Ycaza scored a pair of goals against Lipscomb (including the game winner) on three total shots to lead the Bulls to victory on Friday night. They were his first two goals of the season for the USF midfielder. His performance was recognized on the AAC Weekly Honor Roll.

On the women's side, Evelyne Viens was named as the AAC Offensive Player of the Week for the second consecutive week.

And although she didn't have as ridiculous of a stat line with five goals as she did the week before, Viens scored a pair of goals in the 3-2 victory over No. 21 Wake Forest - one in the 56th, the other in the 77th. Her second goal was the game-winner.

Viens also assisted the Bulls' first goal of the night, pushing a ball up to Katie Kitching in the 29th minute to help her score on a breakaway to put USF in front early after Wake Forest had a corner kick.

The AAC Preseason Offensive Player of the Year selection now has eight goals and 18 points on the season.

Rankings update:

USF women's soccer (5-1) moved up five spots to No. 10 by TopDrawerSoccer.com after the victory over Wake Forest. Fellow AAC member Memphis (7-1) sits at No. 24 after the most recent rankings. The United Soccer Coaches Poll will come out on Tuesday for both the men and the women.
