Stout, a junior from Pataskala, Ohio, helped the Cougars to an important 2-0 American Mideast Conference victory at Ohio Dominican University in the team’s only match of the week. The former Watkins Memorial High School standout stopped all five shots on goal in the match to notch his eighth shutout of the season that tied him with former MVNU star Trevor Knowles for the all-time school record of 20 shutouts.

On the season, Stout has started in 14 of the team’s 16 matches and played in 15 of them. He has allowed just 10 goals in 1326:17 with nine shutouts for a microscopic 0.68 goals against average. In the Cougars’ most recent match against NCAA Division II No. 20 Ashland University on Tuesday, he broke the school shutout record as he registered his ninth of the season and the 21st of his career. He needs just one more shutout to tie the single-season school mark of 10 that he earned a share of last season.

The Cougars are currently 11-3-2 overall and 6-1-2 in the AMC. MVNU, which received votes in the latest NAIA poll, will return to action on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. when the team will host Daemen (N.Y.) College in another conference match.
