written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (11-10-2008) - Jenessa Loewen, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s soccer team, was recently honored for her play during the week of October 27-November 2 when she was named the American Mideast Conference Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season.

During that week, Loewen, a sophomore goalkeeper from Gravenhurst, Ontario, led the Lady Cougars to a pair of shutout conference victories. In a 7-0 victory at Malone University, the former Gravenhurst High School standout stopped two shots in 56 minutes of action. Then, she closed the week with three saves in playing all 90 minutes in a 5-0 win over Walsh University to close out the regular season.

On the season, Loewen has played in 18 of the team’s 19 matches with 17 starts. She has posted six shutouts and has a 1.04 goals against average as the team has allowed just 19 goals in 19 matches with nine total shutouts.

MVNU is currently 12-6-1 overall and in the midst of a five-match winning streak. The Lady Cougars will return to action on Friday at 4:00 p.m. when the team will travel to Ohio Dominican University for an AMC Tournament semifinal match against the top-seeded Lady Panthers. The winner of that match will advance to the AMC Tournament championship match on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. for a shot at earning a berth in the NAIA National Tournament Opening Round.
