The Hobart College soccer team was recently honored with the 2009 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) College Team Academic Award for the 2008-09 academic year. Hobart is one of 141 men’s teams to earn the award.

To be eligible to receive this award, a team must have a combined grade point average of 3.0 or higher. The 30 Statesmen on last fall’s roster recorded a cumulative GPA of 3.08.

“It’s a great accomplishment on the part of the Hobart soccer team to achieve so much on the field and do so well in the classroom,” said Scott McKinney, professor of economics at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. “I’ve had many of these students in my classes in the past and have many of them in my class this fall: they’re always hard-working and intellectually lively. They’re excellent examples of the ideal of the student-athlete, someone whose passion to excel extends to all parts of their life.”

Additionally, six Hobart soccer players were recently named to the 2009 Liberty League All-Academic Team:

• Sophomore Nate Bechtold, undeclared
• Senior Matt Geswell, biology major
• Sophomore Charlie Hale, undeclared
• Junior Kevin McCarthy, economics
• Sophomore Michael Moulton, undeclared
• Sophomore Alex Witherell, undeclared

The Statesmen finished the 2009 season with a 15-4-2 overall record, after winning the program’s first Liberty League Championship, and earning its fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Hobart advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight year as well.

To earn a spot on the Liberty League All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher and be at least a sophomore academically.

Facing the toughest defense in the nation, Curtin posted his third consecutive hat trick. He completed his collegiate career with a three-goal performance at Bryant on Thursday. The Bulldogs came into the contest allowing just 6.44 goals per game, but the Statesmen netted nine goals, the second highest total against Bryant this season. Curtin capped his career 11th in career goals and career points and 12th in career assists.

DiPalma served as the coxswain for the William Smith varsity eight that finished second in the petite final at the ECAC Championships on Sunday. In their morning heat, the Herons committed a false start, but then turned in the third fastest time of the heats (out of 20 crews in three heats). William Smith covered the course in 6:59.640, then logged a time of 6:57.688 in the petite final, second only to Division I New Hampshire.
