OLATHE, Kan. – MNU women's soccer forward Tindra Jarl has been named the PrestoSports-NAIA National Offensive Player of the Week, announced Tuesday, October 27.
Jarl earned the national honor after an extraordinary offensive week in which she scored 8 goals in 2 matches, leading the Pioneers to shutout victories over William Woods and William Penn.
She entered the week with 8 goals on the season, and increased it to 13 with a 5-goal performance in MNU's 7-0 victory over William Woods. She scored twice in the first half before adding 3 more goals in the second.
Four days later, Jarl continued her scoring surge with a hat trick in a 5-0 road victory over William Penn. She opened the scoring just 6:03 into the match, added another goal in the 28th minute, and completed her second consecutive hat trick early in the second half.
Across the 2 victories, Jarl accounted for 8 of MNU's 12 goals, helping the #15-ranked Pioneers improve to 11-3-2 overall and 8-3-1 in Conference.
The performances raised her season total to 16 goals, including 7 game-winning goals, and gave her 37 points through 16 matches.
Jarl's national recognition highlights one of the most prolific individual scoring weeks in program history.
The Pioneers play at Missouri Valley tonight, and close the regular season at home vs. Culver-Stockton on Saturday.
