MARY-TAYLOR KERSEY OF CENTRE COLLEGE, a junior defender from Winchester, Ky., has been named the SCAC Women's Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday, September 5 through Sunday, September 11.

Kersey scored the game-winning goal Saturday afternoon in the Colonels' 1-0 victory over Baldwin-Wallace. Kersey also anchored a defense that saw the 15th-ranked Centre Colonels post three shutouts over the week including a 1-0 win over 2nd-ranked Otterbein on Sunday. Kersey controlled a backfield for the Colonels that allowed just 10 shots on goal in three games and that has now posted shutouts in four of its first five games.

In five matches, Kersey has tallied one goal and six assists for a total of 8 points.
