Announcing the @flocollege/CCAA Men's & Women's Soccer Athletes of the Week:

Men's Defensive: Nickolas Molina, Chico State
Men's Offensive: Noah Naranjo, Fresno Pacific
Women's Defensive: Kendyl Sumlin, Cal State LA
Women's Offensive: Jacky Vasquez Lopez, Menlo

Nickolas Molina faced a total of 21 shots in two games, helping the Wildcats to two shutout wins at home. Molina recorded six saves in the 1-0 shutout victory over Dominican last Thursday, and followed up his performance on Saturday, keeping Hawaii Pacific off the scoreboard. The senior goalkeeper from Nogales, Ariz., played 90 minutes in both matches.

Noah Naranjo contributed to the Sunbirds’ 8-0 shutout against Pacific Union over the weekend, helping the team to end the week 1-1. Naranjo posted three goals on the scoreboard, recording the first hat trick of his career, and Fresno Pacific’s first since November 2016. The freshman forward from Clovis, Calif., led the offense in scoring, while also assisting on a teammate's goal. Naranjo scored back-to-back goals at 47:59 and 55:44, before adding another goal late in the match and an assist shortly after in the 88th minute.

Jacky Vasquez Lopez tallied five points with a goal and three assists in leading the Oaks to wins over Jessup (4-0) and San Francisco State (3-0) last week. She became Menlo’s first CCAA Athlete of the Week in any sport. The junior midfielder from Seaside, Calif., assisted on the eventual game-winner in the blowout win at Jessup in Rocklin, Calif. Leilani Phillips’ goal came just 95 seconds into the match. Vasquez Lopez then chipped in a goal in the 17th minute as the Oaks dominated. In Friday’s non-conference match versus San Francisco State, she helped on two of the three goals as the Oaks extended their win streak to three.

Kendyl Sumlin recorded 11 saves, including a career-high seven stops at Point Loma to lead the Golden Eagles to a pair of impressive draws against PacWest opponents. The sophomore goalkeeper from Lakewood, Calif., faced 16 shots against powerhouse Point Loma on Thursday and came away with seven saves in the 1-1 draw. On Saturday, Sumlin had four saves in the 1-1 tie against Vanguard.
