MVNU's Loewen Claims AMC Weekly Defensive Honor Again
written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (10-7-2010) - Jenessa Loewen, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women's soccer team, has been selected as the American Mideast Conference Defensive Player of the Week for the second straight week and the third time in four weeks as she was recently honored for her performance during the week of September 27-October 3.

Loewen, a senior goalkeeper from Gravenhurst, Ontario, led the Lady Cougars to a 2-0 record for the week as she notched a pair of shutouts to run the team's winning streak to four straight matches – all via the shutout. In a 2-0 win at Asbury (Ky.) University, the former Gravenhurst High School standout stopped two shots. Then, in a 1-0 victory at Georgetown (Ky.) College where the winning goal was scored with 27 seconds remaining, she posted eight more saves to help secure the win for MVNU.

On the season, Loewen has posted seven shutouts in nine matches and allowed just three goals for a 0.33 goals against average while posting 46 saves. She now has 30 career shutouts and is just one shy of the Lady Cougars' all-time record of 31 set by Krysti Wilson from 2003-2006.

MVNU has an important weekend of conference action ahead with a match at Houghton (N.Y.) College on Friday at 5 p.m. and a match at Roberts Wesleyan (N.Y.) College on Saturday at 3 p.m. The Lady Cougars' two opponents are currently first and second in the AMC standings.
