ATLANTA- Cal Junior Nate Fredericks has been named MCLA Division I Warrior Player of the Week.  The Oakland, CA native scored eight goals and added an assist in a weekend sweep of Colorado and Colorado State for the Golden Bears.  On Friday night Fredericks helped drive the Cal comeback effort by scoring four goals including three of the last four  as the Bears erased an early deficit to defeat the Buffaloes.  On Sunday Fredericks helped push the Cal past the Rams with another four goal performance as the Bears won in a shootout 17-13.

Cal Coach Ned Webster said, "Freddy is a pretty calm, almost stoic person and player. But once he gets punched in the face, like our team did Friday night, and he gets pissed off, his competitiveness takes over. 

 I've been behind the goal when he's shooting and it's terrifying- I don't know how goalies do it. But this weekend he had some well chosen moments to showcase his dodging abilities, scoring 3 of our last 4 goals against Colorado, really gutsy efforts when the game was there for the taking."

Congratulations to Nate for  being names MCLA Division I Warrior Player of the Week, in recognition of his performance Fredericks will receive a Warrior Burn XP2-O head – a $120 value. Warrior is a proud sponsor of the MCLA.
