Walnut Creek, Ca - Taylor Graham, a senior defender from Fair Oaks, California, has been named Pacific-10 Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week.

Graham helped lead a shorthanded Stanford soccer team to two Pac-10 wins last weekend over Washington and Oregon State. Stanford was missing its leading scorer, Roger Levesque, and starting defender Todd Dunivant to injury, but the defense led by Graham shutout Washington (2-0) and Oregon State (1-0) in overtime.

Graham scored his first goal of the season as Stanford defeated Washington, 2-0, and then helped hold Oregon State to only four shots in a 1-0 victory.

Graham is the second Stanford player to be accorded Pac-10 Player of the Week honors by the Pacific-10 Conference this year. Levesque was accorded weekly honors earlier in the year.
