ROLLA, Mo. – Jason Jorgensen (Florence, Italy/Liceo Scientifico Santa Maria), who was recently named as the Offensive Player of the Year in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, has been selected to the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-Midwest region second team for the 2022 season.

Jorgensen led the Great Lakes Valley Conference in scoring during the conference portion of the 2022 season and helped lead the Miners to their first berth in the GLVC Tournament since 2017

During the 2022 season, Jorgensen posted 22 points on nine goals and four assists, averaging 1.29 points per game over S&T's 17-game season and the nine tallies came on just 14 shots on net.  Eight of those goals and all four assists came during the conference season, including two-goal outings against Drury, Missouri-St. Louis and Indianapolis; he also scored in the GLVC Tournament game against Maryville.  His second goal against UIndy turned out to be the decisive goal in S&T's 3-2 win that clinched its tournament berth.

Over the Miners' last nine games of the season, when the Miners scored 22 times, Jorgensen had at least one point in six of those contests and had a goal in five of them.   He was selected as the GLVC's Player of the Week on Oct. 3 after a weekend in which he had a hand in all four goals scored by the Miners, which included the two-goal game against Drury.

Missouri S&T finished 5-7-5 during the 2022 campaign and had a 4-4-4 mark in the GLVC.  The Miners played to a 2-2 tie with top-seeded Maryville on Sunday before the eventual tournament champion Saints – who are playing in the NCAA Division II round of 16 this weekend -- advanced by winning the penalty kick shootout.
