LA MIRADA, Calif. --- The same week he assisted the game-tying goal in a match that sent the Eagles to their second conference tournament championship in three years, Kevin Kiser is tagged Golden State Athletic Conference defensive player of the week.
 
The senior defender out of Costa Mesa, Calif. earned his first career conference playe of the week honor after leading Biola to their sixth consecutive win and anchoring a defense that has allowed just one goal in that six-game span.
 
He played all 90 minutes in this week's conference semifinal match, and solidified his role as the heart of the defensive back line. He has played 90-plus minutes in 16 of Biola's 18 matches this season, and set the tone for the squad that has the fewest number of goals allowed in the GSAC this season.
 
He was recently named to the All-GSAC squad for the second straight season, and can now add GSAC player of the week for games played Nov. 4-10 to his impressive career resume.
 
Kiser and the Eagles return to the pitch Saturday to showdown with Concordia on their field, for the GSAC tournament championship.
