Colorado Mammoth goaltender Gord Nash and transition player Nenad Gajic gave the Colorado Mammoth a clean sweep on the National Lacrosse League's monthly awards, claiming Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month, respectively, for February.

Nash and Gajic helped Colorado to a 4-0 record in February, boosting the club's record to a league-best 9-1.

Nash made 152 saves on 185 shots faced in February, compiling excellent averages -- an 8.64 goals-against average and an 82.1 save percentage.

In addition, Nash dished out two assists and scooped up eleven loose balls in February.

Gajic, meanwhile, scored four goals (one shorthanded, one game-winner) and dished out eight assists, scooping up 29 loose balls in four games.

This is the first Monthly award for either Nash or Gajic, and it is the first time since March 2003 (Colorado's Gary Gait and Brian Langtry) that a team has swept both awards for one month.
