  • Kaylin Raibon assisted on a pair of goals during Cal State Fullerton’s only game last week, a 4-1 home romp over UC Riverside on Thursday night to earn Big West Freshman of the Week.  

  • The true freshman defender out of Laguna Niguel and Aliso Niguel High School sent in two crosses that set up goals by Kaytlin Brinkman just 5:24 in, and Kaya Hawkinson in the 26th minute. That score by Brinkman proved to be the winner. 

  • Raibon, who played 84 minutes against the Highlanders, is tied with five others, including teammate Karla Rodriguez, for The Big West lead with four assists on the year. Raibon has six points as a wing back, having scored the 73rd-minute decider in a come-from-behind 2-1 victory at CSUN on Sept. 22. Raibon’s performance against UCR marked a first with multiple helpers, and the defender has appeared in all 14 games, drawing 12 starts. 

  • Raibon is Cal State Fullerton’s second Big West Freshman of the Week of 2022, following redshirt freshman goalkeeper Mia Ranson to begin the year back on Aug. 22. Cal State Fullerton (6-4-4, 3-1-1 BW) is tied with Cal Poly for second in the current table at 10 points apiece, just one behind Long Beach State, with three weeks to go in the regular season.
