written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (9-19-2009) - Chris Mast and Alex Stout, two members of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University men’s soccer team, were recently selected as the American Mideast Conference Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week respectively for their performance in matches played during the week of September 7-13.

Mast, a junior midfielder from Smithville, Ohio, scored three goals and added an assist in the Cougars’ 6-0 conference victory over Point Park (Pa.) University. The former Central Christian High School standout scored the first goal of the match on a short shot in front of the net. He headed in his second goal off a corner kick and then blasted his third goal in from 30 yards out. He now has seven career goals and 10 career assists.

Stout, a senior goalkeeper from Pataskala, Ohio, stopped one shot in the Point Park match on his way to posting the shutout. The former Watkins Memorial High School star has posted five straight shutouts this year to increase his school-record total to 31 shutouts for his career. He also has lowered his career goals against average to 0.92 thanks in part to the 0.77 goals against average that he has posted this season.

MVNU is currently 5-2 overall and 1-0 in the AMC. The Cougars, who have posted 10 straight home wins and six consecutive home shutouts dating back to last season, will put those streaks on the line on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. when NCAA Division II Ashland University comes to Cougar Field for a non-conference match.
