Soccer’s Dilkes and Scott earn MIAA honors

Jada Scott was named Offensive Player of the Week and Ana Dilkes earned Goalkeeper of the Week following the Jennies’ pair of shut-out victories over Missouri Southern and Southwest Baptist.

Jada Scott scored the Jennies’ first goal against Missouri Southern and notched two assists. She also added a goal and an assist against Southwest Baptist. The redshirt junior forward not only had a pair of award-worthy performances, but she also made history in the process. Scott entered the weekend with 91 career points. Her two goals and three assists added an additional seven points to her total, making her the UCM all-time leader in career points. Scott broke the previous record of 96, set by Teleshia Joseph in 2001.

Following Dilkes’ first absence from the MIAA Goalkeeper of the Week award, the senior goalkeeper made her way back into the spotlight this week with a pair of shut-out victories to claim her seventh MIAA award in eight weeks. Dilkes snagged four saves and extended her shut out record to 57. Her 57 career shut outs are the most in MIAA history. She also has the second most in NCAA history, just three shut outs away from breaking the all-time record.

The Jennies wrap up their regular season with a road trip to Lindenwood and Missouri Western this weekend. The team will face the Lions at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 in St. Charles, Missouri and will take on the Griffons at noon Oct. 29 in St. Joseph, Missouri.
