ST. PAUL, Minn. --
The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) announced
the 2011 MIAC Men's Soccer Awards Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011. St. Olaf
- which won the 2011 MIAC Men's Soccer Playoff Championship and
shared the league's regular-season title with Carleton - swept both
of the conference's major individual awards.
St. Olaf sophomore David Rosenthal - who capped an outstanding
regular season by scoring the game-winning goal in the second
overtime of the MIAC Playoff championship game - was voted the 2011
MIAC Men's Soccer Player-of-the-Year. Rosenthal's coach, Kurt
Anderson, was selected as the 2011 MIAC Men's Soccer
Coach-of-the-Year by his peers for his work with the MIAC-champion
Oles this season.
In addition to the individual awards, the MIAC also announced the
20-member All-Conference team, an 18-member Honorable Mention squad
and the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team. The All-MIAC team included 11
seniors, four juniors and five sophomores with balanced selections
throughout the league. Regular season co-champs St. Olaf and
Carleton each placed three players on the All-MIAC team, as did
Gustavus, Macalester and St. Thomas. Augsburg had two players
selected, and Saint John's, Concordia and Bethel all had one player
apiece on the All-Conference team.
More than half the team featured repeat selections from 2010 and
beyond. There were four players: St. Thomas' Mike Hutton and Angel
Riera, Augsburg's Peter Loyd and Concordia's Riley McGlynn, who all
earned their third-straight All-MIAC selection. Meanwhile
Carleton's Ryan Cammarota and Tim Wills, Saint John's Michael
Coborn, Augsburg's Chad Gilmer, St. Thomas' Nick Rapisarda,
Macalester's Taylor Rasmussen and Gustavus' Lucas Thompson all
earned their second-straight honor.
Rosenthal became the second-straight sophomore to earn MIAC
Player-of-the-Year honor following his record-setting offensive
season. The Burnsville, Minn., native led the MIAC in points (36)
and goals (14) in overall games while tying for second in assists
(eight) and game-winning goals (five). His 14 goals are a new St.
Olaf single-season record, and the record-setting goal fittingly
gave the Oles the postseason title and a bid to the NCAA Division
III Men's Soccer Tournament. Rosenthal was just as good in MIAC
games, leading the league in points (17) and assists (five) while
coming in second with six goals. Rosenthal helped St. Olaf to a
16-3-1 overall record with a 7-2-1 mark in MIAC play.
Anderson's latest MIAC Coach-of-the-Year honor comes on the heels
of his fourth MIAC regular-season championship (2011, 2004, 1998,
1992) and the 2011 MIAC Playoff title. In his 23rd season, Anderson
led the Oles to a 16-3-1 overall record with a 7-2-1 record in
conference play as his team beat Carleton on the final day of the
regular season to earn a share of the title with the Knights.
Anderson's team reach double-digit wins for the 11th time in his
career, and he now has a career record of 233-156-29, including a
136-77-17 mark in MIAC play. He was also named the MIAC's
Coach-of-the-Year in 1998). Anderson's team is the only MIAC
representative in the NCAA tournament, and it opens postseason play
Saturday against Carroll College in Decorah, Iowa.
As part of a conference-wide sportsmanship initiative, the MIAC
announced the sixth-annual All-MIAC Sportsmanship team for men's
soccer. Members of the All-MIAC Sportsmanship team are selected by
their coaches and teammates as individuals who demonstrate ideals
of positive sportsmanship both on and off the field of
competition.
