Matthew Lloyd, UC Merced

The Bobcat goalkeeper has been very nearly an every-week nominee for the Defensive award, and he finally broke through after anchoring UC Merced to its first-ever WWPA win. The Napa, Calif. native recorded 13 saves against Fresno Pacific and limited the 'Birds to .323 shooting. His performance marked his fourth straight WWPA match with double-digit stops.
