Blake of Williams Named
Player of the Year For Second Straight Year
HARTFORD, Conn. – Junior
forward Alex Blake of Williams was named the 2001 NESCAC
Men’s Soccer Player of the Year, the second consecutive year
he has received Player of the Year honors. Blake, the 1999 NESCAC
Rookie of the Year, led the conference in scoring with 24 goals and
57 points in leading the Ephs to the conference title and top seed
in the NCAA Division III Men’s Soccer Championship New
England Regional.
Blake’s teammates Ted
Giannacopoulos and Josef Powell each earned first-team All-NESCAC
honors for the third consecutive year. Powell, a senior midfielder,
scored 10 goals and led the conference with 16 assists.
Giannacopoulos, a senior forward, scored 12 goals and added 11
assists.
Two other players from NESCAC
champion Williams received first-team all-conference recognition.
Senior midfielder Richard Bode, who finished with four assists, and
senior back Marc Williams, who led the Ephs’ defense that has
yielded only 12 goals, were named to the first team.
Four other players repeated as
All-NESCAC first team selections. Senior goalkeeper Brian Hamm and
senior midfielder Nelson Martelle of conference runner-up
Middlebury earned first-team accolades. Hamm posted a 1.15 Goals
Against Average, while Martelle, who played every minute of every
game in his four-year career, scored three goals for the Panthers.
Senior back Ryan Goodband of Amherst and junior forward Morgan
Sandell of Trinity each earned first-team honors for the second
consecutive year despite injuries. Goodband keyed the Amherst
defense. Sandell scored seven goals and assisted on five others for
the Bantams.
Rounding out the All-NESCAC first
team were senior forward David Bulow of Bowdoin and senior defender
Mike Prindiville of Tufts. Bulow scored 17 goals and finished with
39 points. Prindiville scored three game-winning goals in
conference victories for the Jumbos.
Freshman defender Andrew Syfu of
Amherst, who played every minute of every game in his first season,
was named 2001 NESCAC Rookie of the Year. Tufts head coach Ralph
Ferrigno was named 2001 NESCAC Coach of the Year.
