PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
OFFENSIVE
Christian Anderson, Texas A&M-Kingsville, JR, Kinesiology, RB, Cypress, Texas, Cypress Falls HS
Anderson carried the Javelinas over Western New Mexico with 135 rushing yards and two touchdowns including a game-winning 28-yard score in the fourth quarter. The junior continually wore down the Mustang defense averaging 8.4 yards per carry to help the Javelinas close out a tight 21-17 victory.
 
DEFENSIVE
Jaylin Parnell, Western Oregon, SR, Exercise Science, LB, Medford, Oregon, South Medford HS
Parnell led a Wolves defense that allowed just 280 yards and 14 points to Central Washington in the 16-14 victory.  He led the team with 13 tackles and forced a fumble in the comeback win to hand CWU its first LSC loss.
 
SPECIAL TEAMS
Danny Cossette, Western Oregon, SO, Exercise Science, K, Medford, Oregon, North Medford HS
Cossette made the play of the game - if not the season - with WOU up 16-14 over Central Washington with nine seconds left.  After his extra point was blocked, CWU recovered the ball and attempted to return it for a two-point conversion.  Cossette raced down field and made the tackle inside the five-yard line to save the game for the Wolves. He also connected on a season-best 48-yard field goal.
