ROCKLIN, Calif. – The debut season of Jessup's Jalen Scott is being honored by his peers amongst the PacWest. As part of Wednesday's All-PacWest Conference team announcement, Scott ends his first collegiate season with the honor of being named PacWest Freshman of the Year.
 


Scott, a forward out of Sacramento, appeared in all 17 of the Warriors' matches this year, earning the start in 16 of them. The only match he did not start was on Senior Day, as head coach Greg Lazaga used the starting 11 as an opportunity to honor the ten graduating players on the Warriors this season.
 
That one bench appearance against Concordia saw Scott play 77 minutes and finish the day with an assist.
 
Scott netted a goal in five different matches this season. He scored the Warriors' first three goals of the season, starting with the season opener against Northwest Nazarene on September 5. He also added non-conference goals against UC Merced and Cal Poly Humboldt.
 
In conference action, Scott scored and dished out an assist against Academy of Art and then did the same feat in the season finale against Azusa Pacific. He ended the season with an assist in three consecutive matches, adding his fourth during Jessup's visit to Hawaii Pacific on October 9.
 
Scott's 14 points were tops on the team.
 
Jessup finished their first PacWest season with a conference record of 4-5-2, but they ended the season on a hot streak at home, finishing 3-0-1 in their final four home matches, averaging 3.25 goals per match.
 
Wednesday's announcement is historic for Jessup University, which is in year one of competing at the NCAA Division II level. Scott becomes the first student-athlete to earn a PacWest end-of-the-season award and joins the first class of Warriors to earn All-PacWest honors. The women's soccer All-Conference team will be revealed at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Women's Volleyball recipients will come out at the end of the month.
 
The other major awards from the PacWest saw Elijah Langford of Point Loma claim Player of the Year honors, and Point Loma's Phil Wolf was voted Coach of the Year.
