Congratulations to the Messiah soccer teams on other post season awards that they received at the NSCAA Convention in Philadelphia. Juniors Erin Hench and Geoff Pezon were national players of the year and first-year head coach Brad McCarty was men's coach of the year.

Wrapping up other fall awards, the MAC scholar athletes were: Brian Pastor, Widener, Football; Meghan Droge, FDU-Florham, Volleyball; Andrew Loyd, Misericordia, Men's Soccer; Amanda Naeher, Messiah, Women's Soccer; Andrew Ferretti, DeSales, Men's Cross Country; Bethany Pavlik, Delaware Valley, Field Hockey; and, Megan VanDenHengel, Elizabethtown, Women's Cross Country. Although they only needed a 3.2 to be nominated, this group had an average grade point average of 3.72. 25 senior fall athletes were nominated for the 7 awards.

Make your plans to attend the wrestling regional hosted by Delaware Valley on Saturday, February 20. Del Val hopes to have several national qualifiers emerge from this tournament.

MAC swimming championships are at the Catholic Youth Center in Wilkes-Barre on February 12-14. Widener looks to retain their men's championship from last year, while the Misericordia women, 2009 MAC champions, will be under pressure from several teams to pull a repeat.

On February 27 the MAC indoor track & field championships are at Lehigh University.
