Chico State's Alex Fluitt and Cal State LA's Danielle Telles Earn CCAA Player of the Week Honor
SAN RAMON – Chico State redshirt freshman Alex Fluitt and Cal State LA senior Danielle Telles were selected the California Collegiate Athletic Association Men's and Women's Soccer Players of the Week, respectively, for the week of Sept. 26-Oct. 2.
Men's Soccer Player of the Week
Fluitt served as the Wildcats setup man in his first two collegiate starts, dishing out an assist on all three goals scored in Chico State's 2-0 win against Cal State San Bernardino on Friday and its 1-0 win over 20th-ranked Cal Poly Pomona Sunday afternoon.
Fluitt's first assist was on a long throw-in that set up Omar Nuno for a 18th-minute strike. Then, just 20 seconds into the second half, Fluitt found the foot of teammate Rajaee DeLane on a cross to the far post. Sunday, the Benicia product, teamed up with DeLane once again, double assisting on the Wildcats game-winner in the 87th minute.

Women's Soccer Player of the Week
Telles, a defender from Whittier, was instrumental in not only the Golden Eagles 2-0 weekend, but in helping CSULA to its fourth and fifth-consecutive shutout victories against their Conference foes.
Telles led a defense that allowed just eight shots on goal, including two in the Golden Eagles 2-0 win over Cal State Monterey Bay on Friday and six shots on goal in Saturday's 1-0 win against San Francisco State.
The center back also contributed offensively, scoring Sunday's game-winner against the Gators on a penalty kick in the 79th minute.
