UCLA sophomore Ryder Dodd (Long Beach, CA) scored four goals, all in the second half, in a 14-13 come-from-behind win at No. 1 USC (Nov. 15) which secured the top seed for the Bruins in the MPSF Championship Tournament. He also won both of his sprints and provided the game-winning goal (4Q-1:09) and game-securing field block on a 7-on-6 play at the buzzer. This is the ninth career MPSF weekly award for Dodd, including the last three consecutively.
