Complete list of weekly winners >>>

Cal State Dominguez Hills’ Alyssa Newsom has been selected as the CCAA/Pixellot Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for the week of Oct. 3-9. 

The goalkeeper picked up back-to-back shutouts on the week while making eight saves. Her first came at home against then-first-place Sonoma State, who had been shut out just once all season. 

Her most crucial save of the weekend came with 2:26 remaining in the match on Sunday against San Francisco State. Facing a penalty kick, with the game on the line, Newsom guessed right and stopped the penalty kick to preserve the scoreless draw. 

Newsom is the first Toro to earn a CCAA women’s soccer weekly honor since Ruth-Maria Soto in Oct. 2017. 

Cal State Dominguez Hills will be at home this week to host Stanislaus State and Cal State East Bay.
