MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (5-14-2008) - The Mount Vernon Nazarene University men’s soccer team has signed an important recruit for the 2008 season with the addition of Dustin Snow, who has decided to further his education and continue his soccer career at MVNU.

Snow, a center midfielder from Newark, Ohio, registered 25 goals and 17 assists in 18 matches as a senior at Granville Christian Academy as he was selected to the Central Ohio Buckeye Conference First Team and named the Licking County Advocate Player of the Year. He also led his team to the 2007 ACSI state championship as well as a state runner-up finish in 2006.

"Dustin has had a notable high school career and has developed into a solid player,” said MVNU head coach Paul Furey. "He is a hard worker and competitor which are two main ingredients to be successful at the collegiate level. Technically, he continues to improve and will be a good college player for us over the next four years. We are glad that Dustin has selected MVNU as the place he wants to continue to play soccer at, and I believe he will fit nicely into our program and our Christian university.”

In addition to playing soccer at Granville Christian Academy, Snow has participated on the Newark Area Soccer Association Select teams since the age of 13.

"I was impressed with several things about Mount Vernon Nazarene University,” said Snow of his college choice. "I felt very welcome from all members of the faculty and staff and the student body that I met. Most importantly, I was also very well received by Coach Furey and the soccer team.”

MVNU finished the 2007 season with a 14-5-3 overall record. The Cougars won the National Christian College Athletic Association East Region title and finished third at the NCCAA National Tournament in Kissimmee, Florida.
