Marks rushed for a DePauw school-record 211 yards on 34 carries as the
Tigers out-lasted Colorado College 41-40 in double-overtime.
Marks scored five rushing touchdowns, which tied both a DePauw and SCAC
single-game record. It was just the sixth time a player from the conference has
rushed for five TDs in a single game with Marks having accomplished the
feat twice. His other 5-TD performance came on Oct. 8, 2005 against Sewanee.
He also set a new SCAC career record for rushing touchdowns, extending his total
to 49 - breaking the old mark of 47 held by Tim McDaniel of Centre College
(1988-1991).
For the season, Marks has rushed for 580 yards and nine touchdowns,
despite missing three games to injury.

the defense recovered at the DePauw 39 with 19 seconds left in

TYRONE PETRAKIS OF TRINITY

Offensive Co-Players-of-the-Week for matches
played from Monday, October 15 through Sunday, October 21.
Petrakis led the Tigers to a pair of shutout wins in SCAC
play this weekend against two nationally-ranked teams. He scored
three goals overall in the two games, including a two-goal game on
Friday against #23 DePauw. Petrakis' first goal of the
weekend was the game-winner in the 21st minute, while his second
goal gave him his sixth career multi-goal game – his second of the
2007 season. Against #10 Centre, he added an insurance goal just
over five minutes after the first score, effectively putting the
game out of reach. For the season, Petrakis is third on the
team with eight goals and 21 points this season, and is tied for the
team lead with three game-winning goals.
Strine scored both goals for Southwestern in
Friday's upset of 10th-ranked Centre, 2-1. He put the Pirates ahead 1-0 during
the 30th minute with an assist from Scott Smith and with less than six minutes
remaining in the game, he redirected a cross from Nathan Shaw-Meadow into the
net for the game-winner. For the season, Strine has six goals and three
assists for 15 points - currently third on the team.

MICHAEL ROBERTSON OF TRINITY
UNIVERSITY, a junior defender from San Antonio, Texas, have been selected the SCAC Men's Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week
for matches played from Monday, October 15 through Sunday, October
21.
Robertson was part of a defense that gave a dominating
performance last weekend, shutting out a pair of nationally-ranked
teams en route to setting a new SCAC record. Robertson and
the Tiger backs gave up no goals on just 12 total shots against No.
23 DePauw and No. 10 Centre – both of which came into the game among
the league leaders offensively. DePauw was second in the SCAC with
3.0 goals and over 17 shots per game coming into the weekend, but
managed just seven shots against these four defenders. Centre was
averaging over 16 shots and 2.6 goals per game, but was held to just
five total shots in the shutout loss. Robertson has started
on the back row in every game this season, which includes seven
shutouts in league play. The Tigers have recorded six consecutive
SCAC shutouts, which breaks the conference record tied by Trinity in
2004-2005 and set by Southwestern during the 2001 season. The
Trinity defense leads the league in goals allowed, yielding just
five goals in 15 games, and recording 10 overall shutouts.

October 15 through Sunday, October 21.

86th minute, Hebbeler stepped up and played a beautiful corner into the box,
which was first flicked by junior Erin Menard and finally headed in by sophomore
Katherine MacMurray. Then, in the 87th minute, Hebbeler again delivered, this
time finding junior Allison Terry who volleyed the ball in for the game-winner.
The points were the first of the season for Hebbeler.

leading to the team to a 1-0-1 record against DePauw and Centre.

Women's Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday,
October 15 through Sunday, October 21.
Wendschlag helped Centre to a 1-0-1 mark over the weekend as
the Colonels' defense held the league's two highest scoring teams to
just two goals combined. Trinity averages 3.00 goals and
Southwestern averages 2.93 goals per game. Wendschlag played a pivotal role in the
Colonels' 2-1 win over regionally-ranked Southwestern Friday night in
Georgetown. Her ability to hold the ball and effectively distribute out of the
back proved crucial in the victory. Sunday morning in San Antonio, Wendschlag
again stepped up for the Colonels by helping to anchor the defense
in its 1-1 double-overtime draw against nationally-ranked Trinity.
Centre had been 0-15 against Trinity since 1992.
