FERRIS' JEN GAYLOR CLAIMS GLIAC WEEKLY WOMEN'S SOCCER HONOR

Senior Midfielder Honored As League's Player Of The Week

The 5-9 Gaylor tallied her second career hat trick in last Friday's (Oct. 7) 4-1 league home triumph over Gannon at the FSU Varsity Soccer Field in Big Rapids, Mich. Gaylor notched three goals, including the game-winner and two markers in the initial half, as Ferris defeated the Knights. She then totaled seven shots but did not score in FSU's 3-1 conference home win over Mercyhurst Sunday (Oct. 9).

Gaylor also previously scored three goals in a single contest against Aquinas in 2001 (9/12) and her performance versus Gannon was one shy of matching former teammate Emily Rogers' school-record total of four goals in a match set against Concordia (Mich.) in 2001 (9/26).

Gaylor had 13 shots, including five shots on goal, as FSU posted a 2-0 mark last weekend. She has tallied a team and personal career-high nine goals to date this campaign. Her nine goals currently represents the program's seventh-highest single-season goal scoring figure.

A 2003 All-GLIAC Second Team honoree, Gaylor presently is listed fourth among the program's all-time scoring leaders with 45 career points on 19 goals and seven assists in 69 career outings. Gaylor's 19 career markers currently places her fourth on the school's career goal-scoring chart. Her recognition this week represents the first time a FSU player has received the conference's weekly honor since Rogers earned the distinction in 2003 (Oct. 7).

Ferris State, which is currently 9-5 overall and 3-1 in conference play this campaign, has presently won eight of its last 10 outings this season under third-year head coach Melissa Lalonde.

The Bulldogs will visit Ashland Saturday, Oct. 15, for a 1 p.m. (EDT) league outing in Ashland, Ohio. Ferris then will face conference foe Findlay Sunday, Oct. 16, beginning at 12 p.m. (EDT) in Findlay, Ohio.
