MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (9-10-2008) -  Adam Worrall and Brady Swanson, two members of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University men’s soccer team, have been selected as the American Mideast Conference Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week respectively for their performance during the week of September 1-7 as the Cougars won both of their matches and claimed the First-Knox Cougar Invitational title.

Worrall (left), a senior forward from Blacklick, Ohio, scored three goals during the week. The former Gahanna Lincoln High School star had two goals in a 4-0 victory over Manhattan Christian (Kan.) College in the first round of the tournament and then added another goal in a 3-0 win over Nyack (N.Y.) College in the championship match. For his efforts, Worrall was named the Most Valuable Offensive Player of the Tournament.

On the season, Worrall leads MVNU with six goals to go with one assist, and he has scored at least one goal in every match so far this year. He has also moved into a tie for tenth place on the Cougars’ career goals scored list with 28 goals.

Swanson (right), a junior defender from Mount Vernon, Ohio, helped anchor the MVNU defense that posted two shutouts and allowed just seven total shots for the week. The former Mount Vernon High School standout also scored a goal in each match. For his efforts, Swanson was selected as the overall Most Valuable Player of the First-Knox Cougar Invitational.

On the season, Swanson has now scored three goals. He has also helped the defense allow just seven goals in five matches with a pair of shutouts. He has now scored seven goals in his career.

The Cougars will return to action on Friday when MVNU will travel to Malone College for the team’s AMC opener. Kick-off is set for 3:00 p.m.
