WOODLAND, Calif. -- UCLA sophomore Nicolas Saveljic (Kotor, Montenegro/Maritime School Kotor) has been named the MPSF/KAP7 Player of the Week as announced by the league office today.

The 6-foot-6-inch attacker led the Bruins to a home upset of No. 2 Stanford (Nov. 3) with a game-high and career-high-tying four goals, handing the Cardinal just its second loss of the year and its first in MPSF play.

Saveljic scored the eventual game-winning goal in the third period and scored three of the Bruins' four goals in the second half (UCLA led 6-2 at the half).

He also had one assist, drew one exclusion and won the only sprint he swam.

This is Saveljic's first career MPSF Player of the Week award.

Others Nominated: Marko Vavic (USC).
