Jelinek, a 6-3 sophomore goalkeeper from Merrillville, Ind., has been downright impossible to score on this year. Over the past week, Jelinek saved two shots in a 1-0 win over Bethel (Kan.). He followed that with a four-save shutout performance against McPherson (Kan.). That’s now ten consecutive shutouts to begin the season. He has a total of 24 saves on the year as the Trojans have started 10-0-0.Ali Tagba, a 5-8 forward from Lome, Togo, was the difference maker for Park last week, scoring the game-winners in both Pirate victories. Against then-No. 25 Graceland (Iowa), the junior scored two goals in a 4-2 win. Against Grand View (Iowa), he netted another goal in a 2-1 win. For the week, Ali Tagba had three goals and six total points. He leads all Pirates with five goals this season.
