Colorado Mammoth Forward Alex Gajic was named Rookie of the Week. Gajic joined a balanced Mammoth attack as he scored three goals and added an assist; the Mammoth lost to Minnesota, 13-12.

The NLL weekly player awards are determined each week by a vote of the general managers and head coaches of the league's eleven member clubs.
