RRAC Offensive Player of the Week – Pablo Dominquez de Leon – LSU Alexandria

RRAC Defensive Player of the Week – Ricardo Gross – Louisiana Christian University
Freshman keeper Ricardo Gross picked up a pair of wins where he had to stand tall against an onslaught while his shorthanded defense tried to preserve leads late. Against Jarvis Christian, he recorded his first career solo clean sheet while LCU was down to 10 men for 69 minutes, getting three saves in a 1-0 win over the Bulldogs. Against previously undefeated and No. 7-ranked LSUS, he saved six shots while trying to preserve the lead as LCU went down to 10 men with 18 minutes left and nine men with two minutes left, holding off the furious last-minute rally to hand the Pilots their first loss of the season in the regular season finale. 

Additional nominees: Gino Burioni from NAU, Favour Eze from TAMUT, Sondre Liahagen-Kolnes from LSUS, Ivan Capurro from LSUA and Mosiah Bonney from TAMUV

RRAC notebook:

• Wilman Landaverde, a senior right wing from NAU, added an assist against TAMUV.
• Ezra Williams from LCU was a key facilitator in the build-up to the match's only goal in LCU's 1-0 win, and then also dropped back and was key on the back line after LCU went down to 10 men. In the match against LSUS, he had a goal and an assist.
• TAMUT's Jose Medina Cervantes played a key role in the Eagles' 2-1 victory over Jarvis, directly contributing to both goals in the match. Medina Cervantes assisted on the opening goal to give the Eagles an early lead, then found the back of the net himself to extend the advantage to 2-0.
• LSUS' Joel Trueb scored a goal against LCU. He took three shots, all on goal.
• Baillie O'Reily from TAMUV recorded an assist against OLLU and scored a goal against NAU.
• NAU's Gino Burioni recorded two saves against TAMUV.
• TAMUT's Favoir Eze anchored the Eagles' back line in Saturday's victory, playing a crucial role in limiting Jarvis to just one goal.
• Sondre Liahagen-Kolnes from LSUS tallied four saves against LCU.
• Ivan Capurro from LSUA had two saves against XULA.
• TAMUV's Mosiah Bonney scored the game-winner against NAU, which sent the Jaguars into the RRAC postseason. His strong defensive play has helped limit opponents' chances throughout the season.
