Release Date: October 24, 2000

A hat trick and two game-tying goals in three matches helped Monmouth College’s Mark Allen earn his first Midwest Conference Soccer Offensive Player of the Week honor.

The freshman midfielder from Milan, Ill. (Sherrard H.S.) scored the game-tying goal last Tuesday in an eventual 3-2 loss to Illinois Wesleyan, then drilled three goals in a 4-0 win over Lawrence Saturday and followed that up by scoring the Fighting Scots’ lone goal in a 1-1 tie with St. Norbert on Sunday. The Scots finished the week at 1-1-1. Allen is leading the Monmouth scoring with 11 goals and 23 points. He is currently sixth in the conference standings posting 11 points in MWC play.

The Fighting Scots will host arch rival Knox in their final home match of the year Saturday at 1 p.m. at Peacock Memorial Athletic Park.
