CARSON, Calif.- Cal State Dominguez Hills defender Nathan Reeves (Lakewood HS) has been named the Brine California Collegiate Athletic Association Men's Soccer Player of the Week for the week of October 7-13. The honor marks the first for a defender this year with the exception of goalkeeper.

Reeves, a sophomore from Lakewood, was a defensive slalwart whose intensity helped the 7th-ranked Toros rebound from an upset loss at Western Washington and defeat CCAA rivals Sonoma State and San Francisco State last week.

Following the 2-1 loss at WWU, CSUDH shut out Sonoma, ranked 2nd in the Far West Region at the time. Reeves had numerous steals and slide tackles, and had a tremendous man-marking game in leading the Toros to the 2-0 win. He won every 50/50 ball that came his way.

Reeves then led the back line defense that stymied a physical San Francisco State team, 1-0, again with a solid defensive performance. Reeves won all 50/50 balls his way despite facing larger opposing players.

The victories preserved the Toros top ranking in the Far West Region.
