October 12, 2001

Dianne Garza has been named the Kappa California Collegiate Athletic Association Women's Soccer Player of the Week for Oct. 1-7 as announced by the conference office in Walnut Creek, CA.

Garza, a junior forward from Temple City, scored two goals last week, including a sudden-death game-winner, to lead the No. 13 ranked Toros to a pair of wins at San Francisco State and Sonoma State. The wins improved CSUDH to 6-2-1 in league play and 11-2-1 overall.

Garza scored the Golden Goal in a 2-1 overtime win at Sonoma, as she took a long pass and scored from 18-yards out. Two days earlier, Garza scored on a penalty kick as the Toros defeated North Division leader San Francisco State, 2-0. She used her speed to beat the SFSU defense and was taken down in the penalty box to earn the opportunity.

Garza leads the CCAA in scoring with 31 points on the year with 12 goals seven assists.
