First Players of the Week Honored in Men's Soccer
Adrian College forward Sean Dillon and Kalamazoo College back Steve Hagerman have been named the first recipients of MIAA Player of the Week honors in men’s soccer.
Dillon, a junior from Canton, Mich. (Plymouth HS) earned Offensive Player of the Week honors by scoring two goals in leading the Bulldogs to a 3-1 victory over Anderson (Ind.) University. Dillon’s strong play helped Adrian split a weekend tournament in Indiana.
Hagerman, a senior from Berkley, Mich. (Berkley HS) was named Defensive Player of the Week after spearheading a Hornet defense that allowed just one goal in wins over Defiance, 2-0, and Mount Union, 2-1. He also scored an insurance goal in the win over Defiance.
Dutchmen preseason pick to win MIAA
Defending MIAA co-champion Hope College has been installed as the preseason favorite to win the 2008 league football championship. Despite losing 15 starters to graduation, including nine on offense, a poll of coaches and media gave the Flying Dutchmen a slight nod over Adrian and Olivet, who shared last year’s championship with Hope and made its first appearance in the NCAA Division III playoffs.
Coaches and media had differing views on the season, with coaches ranking Olivet as the favorite over Adrian and the media favoring Hope over Adrian. Adrian and Olivet each had more first-place votes in the poll than Hope. continue
Poll Results (first-place votes in parenthesis):
1. Hope (2) 27 pts, 2. Adrian (7) 33, 3. Olivet (6) 34, 4. Alma 56, 5. Trine 64, 6. Albion 67, 7. Kalamazoo 100.
