Alaniz, a freshman, scored twice in a 6-1 decision over Santa Clara and accounted for all the goals in a 2-0 triumph over Ventura Foothill Tech in Frontier League action.
Honorable mention honors went to Hallie Magee (Dos Pueblos girls basketball),
Malia Morales (Dos Pueblos girls soccer), Paige Hauschild (San Marcos water polo), Krissy Karr (Westmont basketball), John Green (UCSB basketball) and Peter Durak (San Marcos basketball).
