Cal State San Marcos’ David Ruiz has been selected as the FloCollege/CCAA Men’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for Sept. 22-28.

Ruiz scored three goals to help lead CSUSM to a win over Concordia and a tie against No. 7 Cal State San Bernardino before heading into conference play. 

The junior forward had two goals, including the last-second game-winner at Concordia. His first goal was in the 60th minute, before giving the Cougars the win with a last-second buzzer beater for his second goal. Ruiz added another goal in the 2-2 draw against No. 7 Cal State San Bernardino, in a non-conference match.

The goals move Ruiz into a tie for fifth place in the conference with 0.50 goals per match. He is also seventh in points per game (1.17) and fourth in total goals (3). Click here to see the complete CCAA stats leaders
