Bella Anderson of Cal Poly Pomona has been selected as the FloCollege/CCAA Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week after leading the Broncos to a regular season title.

The senior defender, who played all 90 minutes in both matches, led the unit as it held the surging Lumberjacks and the Seawolves to just three shots on goal in each contest.
Cal Poly Pomona has the third best defense in terms of goals allowed with just 11 in 17 matches this season (8 in 10 conference matches). The Broncos have recorded league-best 10 shutouts. Click here to see the complete CCAA stats leaders
