Jayme Light after scoring a goal on Sunday

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - Northern Kentucky University’s Jayme Light has been named Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Week in women’s soccer.

Light, a sophomore forward and a graduate of Colerain High School in Cincinnati, scored two goals and added an assist to lead NKU to a pair of wins last weekend. She tallied a goal Friday in the Norse’s 4-1 win over Lewis.

Light followed up that performance by scoring a goal and assisting another as NKU knocked off two-time defending GLVC champion Wisconsin-Parkside, 4-1, on Sunday.

NKU improved to 7-2 overall with that victory, and the Norse are 5-1 in the GLVC. Light has five goals and two assists this season.

NKU will play a non-conference road game at Findlay this Friday at 4 p.m. The Norse will resume GLVC play at noon Sunday when Bellarmine visits the Town & Country Sports Complex in Wilder, Ky.
