written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (11-10-2008) - Adam Worrall, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University men’s soccer team, was recently selected as the American Mideast Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the third time this season when he earned the honor for the week of October 27-November 2.

Worrall, a senior forward from Blacklick, Ohio, led the Cougars to a 1-0 record during that week as MVNU closed out the regular season with a 2-1 victory over Walsh University that extended the team’s winning streak to nine straight matches to equal the school record set previously in 1984. The former Gahanna Lincoln High School standout scored the game-winning goal in the 81st minute of that match as he notched his eighth game-winning goal of the season and his fifth in conference play.

Worrall currently leads the Cougars with 19 goals in 18 matches to go along with a team-high eight assists. He now ranks fourth in school history with 41 career goals and sixth with 99 career points.

MVNU is currently 13-3-2 overall and finished second in the AMC standings with an 8-1-2 conference mark for the team’s highest conference finish since sharing the Mid-Ohio Conference title in 1984. The Cougars, who are ranked No. 25 in the latest NAIA poll - the first time that MVNU has ever cracked the Top 25, will host their first-ever NAIA postseason match on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. when No. 5 University of Rio Grande will come to Cougar Field for an AMC Tournament semifinal match. The winner will advance to the AMC Tournament championship match on Saturday.
