CLAREMONT, Calif. - Gavin Netherton of the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's water polo team earned the SCIAC Offensive Player of the Week honor for games through Sunday, Nov. 8, the conference office announced today. 

Netherton had back-to-back goals in the final three minutes (with 2:44 and 1:15 left) to turn a 10-10 tie into a 12-10 lead, as CMS defeated Pomona-Pitzer 12-11 to move into a tie for first in the loss column in the SCIAC with the Sagehens on Wednesday. Netherton also assisted on the goal that put CMS ahead 10-9, finishing with three goals and an assist on the day, while contributing to the final three goals the Stags scored. 

Netherton joins four-time winner Nick Kennedy and Fletcher Appeldorn among SCIAC Offensive Players of the Week this season, while Jack Bryant earned the Defensive Player of the Week award after his sudden-death overtime goal in a win over Redlands. 

CMS and Redlands will meet again on Saturday at 11 a.m. in the regular season finale, which will also be Senior Day for Netherton, Kennedy and Bryant, as well as Jeffrey Koretz, Hassen Hove and Stryker Scales.
