David
McIlwaine
Named HCAC Men's Athlete of the Month
To earn the award, McIlwaine was selected as the top male athlete in any sport at any institution during the month of October by league sports information directors. Each college is permitted one nominee for the entire athletic department per month, and the nine nominees are placed on one ballot for voting. McIlwaine is the first Rose-Hulman men's athlete to be named the HCAC Player of the Month, and joins women's tennis player Sam Danesis (September's winner) as Engineers to win the award. McIlwaine leads the HCAC in scoring with 13 goals and 30 points, including six goals in seven matches during the month of October. His efforts helped lead the Engineers to a 6-1 record last month. McIlwaine ranks third in school history with 30 career goals. Earlier this season, he was named HCAC Player of the Week for his efforts in wins over Wabash and Earlham. The men's soccer team will compete in the 2006 HCAC Men's Championship Game on Saturday at 2 p.m. at Transylvania University. The 15-3-1 Engineers will earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Playoffs if they can defeat the Pioneers on Saturday. |
