LOS ANGELES -- The MPSF announced today that UCLA junior Garrett Danner (Coto de Caza, CA/El Toro HS) has been named the MPSF/Kap7 Player of the Week after leading No. 1 UCLA to its third-consecutive Kap7 NorCal Invitational title.
He accumulated 29 saves in 2.75 games in the cage (10.55 SPG) and also averaged 3.6 steals per match while helping the Bruins remain undefeated at 9-0, extending the nation's longest active winning streak to 12 matches, dating back to last season.
Danner allowed 16 goals in the tournament (5.82 GAA) through complete games vs. No. 3 California and No. 4 Stanford, along with three quarters of action vs. No. 9 Pepperdine. Danner picked up a career-high seven steals in addition to 13 saves in the semifinal against Cal, four coming on the power play and another on a penalty shot in the middle of the fourth with the Bruins leading by two goals. In the finals against Stanford, he stopped another late fourth quarter penalty shot in a tight game, one of seven saves. He also had a nine-save outing in three periods vs. Pepperdine.
This is Danner's third career MPSF weekly honor, each coming after a NorCal title.
Also Nominated: Kyle Trush (UCI); Matej Matijevic (SJSU); Lee Griffin (LBSU); Mitchell Mendoza (STAN).
