Gavino was the tournament MVP in 2012 and Long also made the All-Tournament team.

Big Game Gavino: Carlos Gavino was a key player in 2012 as he led the Warriors deep into the postseason. The CCAA tournament MVP scored two goals and assisted on another in the team's 3-2 win over Chico State on Nov. 4, 2012, for the championship. Four days later, in the NCAA West Region first round match against Notre Dame de Namur, Gavino scored one of the three Stanislaus goals in the 3-2 win.

Ramirez Top Scorer: Jose Ramirez, who scored the OT game-winner on Sunday, continues to lead the team in scoring now with five goals.
