Eph Named to National College Division Team - December 28, 2007
WILLIAMSTOWN - Williams College senior back Nathan Elwood of Andover, N.J., was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Adidas Scholar All-America College Division Team.
Elwood was the only player from New England named. He was previously named to the College Division ESPN The Magazine District I All-Academic Men's Soccer First Team.
Elwood majors in biology, holding a 3.83 grade-point average, and is the lone Eph field player to start in all 19 games this season. He netted two goals and assisted on two more. Elwood has started 44 of the 68 games he has played at Williams as a four-year letterman. He has tallied three goals and recorded seven assists for 13 points.
Elwood helped stabilize an Eph backline that lost three starters, including the NSCAA National Player of the Year to graduation. Williams allowed just 21 goals in 19 contests this season and compiled a 12-5-2 mark. Despite suffering heavy losses to graduation that included eight starters from the 2006 team, the 2007 Ephs advanced to the sectional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament – "Sweet Sixteen" – for the second year in a row.
Elwood was also named Second Team All-New England by NSCAA/adidas, Second Team All-NESCAC and to the NESCAC All-Academic Team.
Ryan Pelletier, a four-year letterman from York, Maine, made a successful switch his senior year to midfield from having played three years on the Eph backline and earned All-NESCAC First Team honors and Second Team NSCAA/adidas honors.
Pelletier started 72 of 73 games he played at Williams and, this fall, was second on the team in goals scored with four and in assists with three. He has notched six goals and added 18 assists for 30 career points.
Senior forward Kit Fuderich of Founex, Switzerland, and junior midfielder Sam Empson of Washington, D.C., also collected Second Team All-NESCAC honors.
Both Fuderich and Empson notched four goals on the year and Empson contributed two assists. Fuderich played in all 19 games this season, while Empson appeared in 15. |
