Jessica Linger, a member of
the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s
soccer team, has been selected as the
American Mideast Conference Offensive Player
of the Week for her performance in matches
played during the week of October 12-18.
Linger,
a freshman forward from Bexley, Ohio, led
the Lady Cougars to a 1-0 overtime
conference victory at Shawnee State
University in MVNU’s only game during the
week. The former Bexley High School standout
scored the golden goal 2:28 into overtime to
snap the host Lady Bears’ five-match winning
streak.
On the season, Linger has scored three
goals with all three being game-winners and
two of them coming in overtime. She is tied

total points (7). MVNU has also now set a
school record with five overtime matches
this season.
The Lady Cougars are currently 7-5-1
overall and 5-3 in the AMC. MVNU will return
to action on Saturday when the team travels
to Daemen (N.Y.) College for another
conference match that will start at 2:00
