written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (1-16-2012) - The Mount Vernon Nazarene University men's soccer team has signed an important recruit for the 2012 season as the Cougars have signed Scott Feighner, who will look to further his education and continue his soccer career at MVNU.

Feighner, a defender from Uniontown, Ohio, was a standout at Lake High School, where he served as a captain and helped the team post six shutouts during the 2011 season while also scoring six goals. After earning Federal League Second Team and All-Stark County Honorable Mention accolades as a junior, he was named to the Federal League First Team, the All-Stark County First Team, the All-District Second Team and his team's Most Valuable Player as a senior. He also participated in the Stark County All-Star Match.

"We are very excited to have Scott become a member of the MVNU men's soccer program," said coach Andrew Belleman as he looks forward to his second season guiding the Cougars. "Scott is a smart, technical player, who can play a couple of different positions on the field. He is also a young man with very strong character and will be a great addition to our team. We are hopeful that he will be able to contribute on the field right away, and we are looking forward to his growth and development as a player."

In addition to play soccer at Lake, Feighner has played club soccer for Boca (2005-2006), Ohio Select (2007), Internationals (2008), and Everest (2009-present). He has also been a part of ODP for two years. He has been active in his church youth group and a part of the mission trip team, and he has participated in the mock trial team for two years.

"MVNU is a great academic school with strong beliefs and values that I agree with," said Feighner of his college choice. "They also have a good soccer team that integrates faith in their play. MVNU is a place where I feel very comfortable and can see myself living at for four years."



The Cougars posted a 7-11-1 overall record in 2011 and posted a 3-6 Mid-Central College Conference mark.
