ELMHURST, Ill. ââ'¬" University of Denver junior men's soccer right back Reagan Dunk (Dallas, Texas) has been named the Summit League Defensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.

Dunk assisted junior Karsten Hanlin's (Centennial, Colo.) game-winning goal in the Pioneers' 1-0 victory over Omaha on Saturday. Dunk also helped anchor Denver's backline that held the Mavericks to just four shots on goal on DU's way to its seventh clean sheet of the campaign.

Monday's award is Dunk's second Summit League Defensive Player of the Week award in both the 2015 campaign and in his career.

Denver is one of two unbeaten teams left in Division I, and is up to No. 7 in the latest NCAA RPI, tying the program's highest ranking in history (9/28/15). DU (11-0-2) is also No. 7 in this week's College Soccer News poll and No. 8 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll that were both released on Monday morning.

DU's No. 7 ranking in the College Soccer News poll is the program's highest ranking in a voted poll in program history. The Pioneers are one of 22 programs unbeaten at home in 2015.

UP NEXT:Denver will step back out of Summit League play this week as the Pioneers travel to Portland. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. MT on Saturday. Denver will then wrap-up its regular season home slate the following Saturday (10/31) when the Pioneers welcome Eastern Illinois to the Mile High City (Altitude 2/7 p.m. MT).

TICKETS: Single-game tickets for the 2015 Denver men's soccer season are on sale now, and can be purchased online, here.
