Monmouth College Soccer's Kara-Jade Gordon Scores Weekly League Honor

Kara Jade-Gordon, Monmouth College Women’s Soccer

MONMOUTH, Ill. – Monmouth’s Kara-Jade Gordon (Nashville, Tenn./University School) has earned the season’s first Midwest Conference Women’s Soccer Offensive Performer of the Week award after a mutli-goal weekend.

      Gordon opened the season on the right foot, literally, scoring three goals and an assist as Monmouth opened their season with a pair of wins, the Scots’ first 2-0 start since 2007. The junior forward notched her first goal of the season in Friday’s 8-0 blanking of Blackburn and had a hand in all three goals in Monmouth’s 3-0 shutout of Simpson on Sunday. Gordon assisted on Sunday’s first goal and then added an insurance goal in the 33^rd minute before netting the final goal just two minutes into the second half. Through the first two games, Gordon is putting nearly 75 percent of her shots on goal.
