Kim Olson Named MWC Women's Soccer Co-Player of the Week

Release Date: October 4, 2000

It’s not getting "old hat" - as in hat trick - for Monmouth College’s Kim Olson after picking up her second Midwest Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the week ending Oct. 1.

Thanks to the freshman forward’s fast start, scoring a hat trick in each of her first three matches, goals scored last week against Benedictine and arch-rival Knox have given her the single season scoring records at Monmouth with 15 goals and 30 points. Olson (West Chicago, Ill./H.S.) posted the clinching goal against the Prairie Fire and then tallied the team’s only goal against Benedictine in setting the new standards.

Olson shares the MWC Offensive Player of the Week honor with Angela Molnar of Beloit College (New Berlin, Wis./West H.S.), who found the net five times last week.

The Fighting Scots will host Culver-Stockton in their final home match of the year Friday at 4 p.m. at Peacock Memorial Athletic Park. The team’s 12 seniors will sing the national anthem.
