of the Week
written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director
MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (9-10-2010) - Kemar
Jackson, a member of the Mount Vernon
Nazarene University men's soccer team, was
recently selected as the American Mideast
Conference Defensive Player of the Week for
his performance during the week of August
30-September 5.
 Jackson,
a senior defender from St. Catherine,
Jamaica, led the Cougars to a 1-1 record for
the week. The former Wolmers High School
product scored a goal and helped anchor the
MVNU defense that posted a 2-0 shutout in
the first round of the First-Knox Cougar
Invitational. He added the team's only goal
in a 4-1 loss to Judson (Ill.) University,
who was receiving votes in the NAIA poll at
the time. For his efforts in the tournament,
he was selected as the Most Valuable
Offensive Player.
On the season, Jackson leads the Cougars
with a career-high five goals to go with one
assist. He has also helped the MVNU defense
post three shutouts in five matches.
The Cougars, who are currently 3-2 overall
and received votes in the latest NAIA poll,
will return to action on Friday at the
Bethel (Ind.) College Classic. MVNU will
take on Goshen (Ind.) College at 5 p.m. in
the first round and then will play the host
Pilots at 7 p.m. on Saturday. | |
