SAN BRUNO, Calif. - Gonzaga University sophomore forward George Josten has been named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week.
Josten scored three of Gonzaga's seven goals for the week that saw the Bulldogs go 2-1, both wins in WCC play. His first two goals came last Monday at the University of San Diego to tie the match and help Gonzaga rally from 2-0 deficit with 22:00 to play as Bulldogs scored three goals in a 17-minute span for a 3-2 win. He scored the first goal of the match on Sunday to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 halftime lead against the University of Washington, a match the Bulldogs dropped 3-2.
He has 11 goals for the season to rank sixth on the Gonzaga single-season list, and his 16 career goals are tied for sixth on the Gonzaga charts. The native of Idaho Falls, Idaho, has 5 goals and 2 assists in last seven matches that has seen Gonzaga go 4-2-1 in that stretch.
