MONMOUTH, Ill. – Jessica Myers of Warrenton, Va. (Fauquier), helped the Monmouth College women’s soccer team post a 2-1-1 mark in the Midwest Conference and has been named the MWC Defensive Performer of the Week.

The freshman sweeper led a revitalized Fighting Scots’ defense that posted shutouts in all three matches last week.

As the last line of defense before the goalie, Myers proved to be the ‘keeper’s best friend, helping limit Robert Morris to seven shots and Ripon to just two in 8-0 and 3-0 victories. Sunday against Carroll, Myers’ efforts helped Monmouth snap the Lady Pioneers’ 21-match regular season winning streak as the Scots improved to 5-3-1.

Myers played every minute of each game as the Scots broke the previous school record with three consecutive shutouts and five shutouts overall. She has started all nine of MC’s games and has played all 830 minutes.

A psychology major, she is the daughter of Charles and Kathy Myers.
