Fournier has racked up 15 career weekly awards from the CWPA, including five in 2012.
Wyckoff provided steady play at the goalkeeper position, finishing the weekend with 37 saves, four steals, and a pair of assists in 96 minutes of action.
Wyckoff grabbed 12 saves and a steal against LBSU, while also dishing out a pair of assists in the second half.
The Los Altos, Calif. native notched nine saves and a steal against Wagner, while allowing just four goals.
She capped the weekend with a 16 save performance against CSU Bakersfield, marking her 15th double-digit save outing of the year. Wyckoff came up with two clutch saves in the final minute of play to help secure the win.
The weekly award marks the 13th of Wyckoff's career.
