All-American goalkeeper Graham Nelson '98 and All-NESCAC backfielder Matthew
Sawatzky '99 paced the men's soccer team to a 9-5-1 record and a number nine
ranking in the New England Division III coaches poll. The Mules went to the
ECAC Championships for the first time since 1994, losing in the first round,
2-0, to Babson. Highlights included a 1-0 sudden-death overtime victory at
Middlebury and a 3-2 win over Amherst when the winning goal was scored with 11
seconds to play. Assistant coach John Osbourne was inducted as the first
member of the Maine State Soccer Coaches Association Hall of
Fame. . . . Farrell Burns '98 placed 17th at the women's
cross country national meet to earn All-America status. Burns's time of 19:06
put her two seconds behind Middlebury's Katy Masselam, the only NESCAC finisher
to place higher. . . . Wilson Everhart '99 was the most
valuable runner for the men's cross country team. He ran a team-best 25:48 at
Boston's five-mile Franklin Park course. . . . Senior Jessie
Anderson led the women's tennis team with a 7-3 record at number one singles
and teamed with junior Kim Cheah to go 7-3 in number one doubles, including
victories over highly ranked Smith and Williams. The squad defeated MIT 6-3 to
avenge last year's 0-9 drubbing. . . . Despite a
disappointing 3-11 season, the field hockey team boasted one of the nation's
standout players in defensive specialist Katie Taylor '98, who earned
All-America honors and a place on the North/South senior all-star team. A
tri-captain, Taylor also was first team All-NESCAC. She holds Colby records for
most defensive saves in a career (28) and a season (12).
. . . Jackie Bates '98 was a first team All-NESCAC selection for
the volleyball team, which finished 16-15.
