Spartan Named NAC Women’s Soccer Student-Athlete of the Week

AURORA, Ill. October 18, 2006 - Aurora University women’s soccer player, freshman goalkeeper Jenny Jarvis (Naperville, IL/Naperville Central H.S.), was named Northern Athletics Conference Women’s Soccer Student-Athlete of the Week for the week ending October 15, 2006.

On the week in which Jarvis became the first AU women’s soccer player to be honored by the NAC this season, she added two more shutout victories on her rookie season as the Spartans defeated Dominican University, 2-0, on Wednesday, and Benedictine University, 2-0, on Saturday.

The two shutouts add to her total of five on the season in conference action and eight overall. She added yet another shutout victory to her resume yesterday as AU defeated Lakeland 1-0. That gives Jarvis nine on the season, just two shy of the single-season AU record. She has led Aurora to a 12-3-2 overall record, and currently a perfect 9-0 in the conference.

Jarvis and the Spartan women’s soccer team are in action next on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2006, when they host Principia College in a non-conference match-up. Game time will take place at 1:00 p.m. on AU Field. AU’s women play again on Sunday, Oct. 22, 2006, when they host Wisconsin Lutheran College in a Northern Athletics Conference match-up. Game time is set for 2:00 p.m. on AU Field.
