April 17, 2003 | Cowgirl Soccer

Oklahoma State's Jeni Jackson was named the Big 12 Conference's Defensive Player of the Week in soccer, it was announced today by the league office.

Jackson, a sophomore from Broken Arrow, Okla., scored three goals in the final six minutes of OSU's 3-2 win over Oklahoma last Friday. The hat trick was the first by a Cowgirl since 1997, and advanced Oklahoma State to the Big 12 Tournament for the first time in school history.

Jackson and the rest of the Cowgirls will face the eighth-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 Tournament, on Thursday morning at 11 a.m. in San Antonio, Texas.
