RIO GRANDE, OH - Mid-South Conference officials announced the 2011 men's soccer all-conference awards today at the conference's annual banquet hosted by the University of Rio Grande (Ohio).



A trio of individuals from Lindsey Wilson College received major awards for being the top vote getters in their respective categories this season.

Blue Raider freshman defender Carl Petersson was named MSC Freshman of the Year, Ray Wells earned Coach of the Year and junior forward Lebogang Moloto was the league's Champion of Character recipient.

Petersson helped the Blue Raiders capture the MSC regular-season title while helping the defense surrender just seven goals this season, including 10 shutouts. Offensively, Petersson scored two goals and recorded three assists.

Wells led the Blue Raiders to a perfect 7-0 conference mark and the program's 10th MSC regular-season title.

Moloto was selected by the conference's athletic directors as the student-athlete that most demonstrates and embraces character values through sport.

Moloto was selected based on his character-driven and civic leadership within his team, campus and community.

In addition to the top conference awards, the MSC all-conference and academic all-conference awards were announced today.

Twelve Blue Raiders were awarded first-team all-conference, honorable mention and academic all-conference honors. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players in the all-conference selections.

The all-conference honorees from Lindsey Wilson include senior Moses Aduny, junior Eddy Campbell, freshman Philip Sandgren, Moloto, senior Samuel Asante, Petersson, junior Sicelo Buthelezi, senior Chris Williams and newcomer Yuta Nomura.

The team's honorable-mention pick was junior Mat Luak.

In addition to awarding its student-athletes for their play on the field, the MSC recognized its academic all-conference team. Honorees must be at least a sophomore and have a 3.25 and above grade-point average on a 4.0 scale.

Those academic all-conference student-athletes from Lindsey Wilson include Asante, senior Anyelo Avila, Moloto, senior Hezekiah Weiss and Williams. -DAN WHITE
