San Antonio - Trinity senior All-American Emily Jorgens has been selected as the first Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Women's Offensive Soccer Player of the Week this season.

The prolific Jorgens sparked the Tigers, now ranked No. 1 in the nation, to a 7-1 season-opening home victory last Friday over the College of St. Scholastica. Jorgens fired in two goals, and dished out two assists, playing a part in each Tiger scoring play in the first half. 

Jorgens earned a number of high awards following the Tigers 2013 season: Capital One Academic All-American of the Year,  NCAA Elite 89 Award (highest grade point average at the NCAA Division III Tournament), and National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-America First Team recipient. It marked the third time Jorgens received All-America accolades. Jorgens was also named SCAC Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive time.

Trinity advanced to the NCAA Championship final last year, played at San Antonio's Toyota Field. Jorgens tied a Division III single-season record during the tournament, by recording her 30th assist.

The Tigers hit the road to Georgia this weekend, starting with a matchup against seventh-ranked Emory University in Atlanta on Friday night. Trinity then travels to Mount Berry to take on Berry College on Sunday afternoon.
