UC Santa Barbara goalkeeper Kyle Reynish (Valencia, Calif./Hart HS) took home Big West Player of the Week honors after his performance against rival Cal State Northridge moved the Gauchos to the brink of the Big West title.
The senior recorded five saves, including several acrobatic stops, against the Matadors on the way to a 1-0 win, his fourth-straight shutout. The win was the fifth victory for the Gauchos in their last six matches and was the first for UCSB over CSUN since November 9, 2004.
Reynish, who was also named to the College Soccer News Team of the Week, leads the Big West in save percentage (.827) and shutouts (10) and is second in goals against average (0.81) and saves (67).
