Hold up; let him Cook. Such has been the mantra for the 12-11 Kingsmen. A graduate of Newbury Park High School, Cook, who hasn’t missed a match in two seasons, is on pace to lead Cal Lutheran in both goals (41) and assists (50), an impressive feat. “His maturity, vision and confidence have grown exponentially since last season and it’s coming into fruition during his play,” head coach Tim Settem said. “It’s fun to watch ... he’s bought into his role on the team and that allows to him lead, be creative and decisive.” Cook’s 12 assists versus La Verne on Oct. 18 shattered the old program record of eight. With another year of eligibility left, the exercise science major will be among the conference’s top returners in 2026. “I’m truly proud of this group and what they have done this season,” Settem said.
