Jones Nabs Final Pac-12 Weekly Award
November 14, 2017 | Men's Soccer
Senior also named to Top Drawer Soccer Men’s Team of the Week
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Ensuring his career would end on a high note, senior forward Jordan Jones (Pacific Grove, Calif.) grabbed two weekly awards following his outstanding performance leading the Oregon State University men's soccer program to a 4-3 upset win over No. 20 Washington on Senior Day.
Jones was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week for the final week of competition and also earned a spot on the Top Drawer Soccer Men's Team of the Week.
The Pacific Grove, Calif., native led the Beavers in the match with a pair of goals to close a four-goal second-half effort for OSU. Jones buried his first after getting sprung by sophomore Loke Strenov (Hørsholm, Denmark) on the right half just outside the keeper's box in the 56th minute.
The senior took the feed and found the right wing of the box before placing a shot towards the left post past a diving Saif Kerawala to give OSU a 3-2 lead. The goal capped off a 3-0 Oregon State run over the course of seven minutes.
Jones added his second goal of the day in the 77th minute for his sixth career brace and eight career game-winner following a Washington turnover. Sophomore transfer Michael Swift (Memphis, Tenn.) intercepted a pass on UW's defending third and immediately touched the ball to a sprinting Jones in the middle of the field.
Jones took point for a one-on-one look against the keeper and placed his left-footed rocket past Kerawala on the left slot from 15 yards out for a 4-2 Beaver lead.
The Pac-12 Player of the Week Honor is Jones' second of his career and first of the season. It is Oregon State's 22nd such award all-time.
The spot on the Top Drawer Soccer Men's Team of the Week is Jones' second honor of his storied career in the Orange and Black.
