Midway's Jessop claims RSC Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week
FLORENCE, Ky. -- Midway (Ky.) University midfielder Joe Jessop scored a heroic goal in a playoff win to earn River States Conference Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for Oct. 31-Nov. 6.
The senior from Lincoln, England, scored with two seconds left in regulation to lift the Eagles to a 1-0 win over Point Park (Pa.) in the RSC Tournament quarterfinals Nov. 5.
Jessop struck a one-time from 30 yards out after the ball was deflected to him on a clear-out. He sent a line-drive into the upper 90 of the goal for the win.
Jessop has six goals and four assists on the year for a total of 16 points to tie for second on the Midway team. He is an RSC all-conference second team selection. The Eagles visit NAIA No. 10-ranked WVU Tech in the RSC Tournament semifinals Nov. 9.
