MWC PERFORMER OF THE WEEK |
Monmouth's Ott is Performer of the Week
 October
28, 2008Monmouth College’s Whitney Ott
(Moline, Ill./Alleman) helped the women’s soccer team post a 2-0 record
last week and was named the Midwest Conference Defensive Performer of
the Week.
Ott was one of several defenders who shined for the Fighting Scots.
The junior was part of a back four that held Knox without a shot in a
6-0 victory. The rare shotless game was just the third one in the
conference this season. Three days later, Ott and Co. had little to do
in the first half while Monmouth enjoyed a 36-mile per hour tail wind at
Cornell. However, Ott helped the Scots pass a major test in the second
half, and she won ball after ball to keep the Rams’ attack relatively
quiet, allowing the Scots to have enough possessions to score twice into
the wind and post a 2-1 come-from-behind win.
Parker is MWC Performer of the Week
 October
10, 2008
Monmouth College’s Brittney Parker (Waukegan, Ill./Warren) helped
the Fighting Scots women’s soccer team finish an unbeaten week and
was named the Midwest Conference Defensive Performer of the Week.
A sophomore sweeper, Parker starred in the back as the Fighting
Scots went 2-0-1 on the week. The only goals scored against the
Scots came in a 2-2 tie with defending league champion Carroll.
Parker started the scoring in that game with a goal off a corner
kick and added an assist the next day as Monmouth defeated Ripon
5-0.
