Cal State LA’s Aidan Wait has been voted the CCAA Offensive Player of the Week for the week of Sept. 12-18. 

In his first career start, Wait scored a pair of goals, including the back-breaker in a 6-0 win over No. 11 Cal Poly Pomona on Saturday. LA was nursing a 1-0 lead when Wait took advantage of a miscue in the 58th minute and scored unassisted to start a four goals-in-17 minutes barrage that broke the game open. The junior forward also scored the final goal in the blitz to make it 5-0. 

The Palos Verdes Estates native now leads the No. 1 Golden Eagles with four goals. He is tied for third in the league in goals per game (0.67).

As a team, Cal State LA paces the CCAA and ranks second in the country with 3.67 goals and 10.5 points per game. 

Wait is the second Golden Eagle to earn a CCAA honor this season. He joins teammate Marlon Radel who earned Defensive Player of the Week honors the first week of the season. 

Cal State LA will open conference play this week at home. They will host Cal State Monterey Bay on Friday, Sept. 23, and No. 7 Cal State Dominguez Hills on Sunday, Sept. 25.
