runners ran together with over 330+ in the field.
Boggs, a returning All-America who placed 35th at this meet
last year, placed 20th with a time of 26:51.3. It was Colorado

Cross Country Runner-of-the-Week for meets run Friday, September 15
and Saturday, September 16.

placed 73rd out of 286

freshman, Ranson led her team as the top runner for the

HILARY MAST OF RHODES COLLEGE,
a senior forward from Louisville, Ky., has been selected the SCAC
Field Hockey Offensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from
Monday, September 11 through Sunday, September 17.
Mast scored her fourth goal of the season in the Lynx 3-1 win
over Wittenberg on Saturday. She scored the goal, the game-winner,
on a deflection off the goalie after a great cross from Elizabeth
Erny. For the game, Mast contributed five of Rhodes’ 12
shots. The 2004 SCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Year and a three-time
All-Region selection, Mast now leads the conference in total
points with 10 and is the second-leading scorer in Lynx field hockey
history.
Field Hockey - Defensive
LEIGH CLASBY OF RHODES
COLLEGE,
a senior sweeper from Fort Lauderdale, Fla, and JACKIE SMITH
OF DEPAUW UNIVERSITY, a sophomore midfielder from Upper
Arlington, Ohio, have been selected the SCAC Field Hockey Defensive
Co-Players-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday, September 11
through Sunday, September 17.
Clasby led the Rhodes defense, which only allowed one goal in
this weekend’s 3-1 victory at Wittenberg. The Lynx successfully
defended all eight penalty corner attempts by Wittenberg. A four
year starter, Clasby is one of the scrappiest and hardest
working defenders in the conference, and Rhodes relies on her
experience and leadership in the backfield with two freshmen
starters on the defensive end of the field.
Smith, whose hustle all game was impressive, was a key
component to DePauw’s excellent play in the second half that was
critical in keeping Wooster from equalizing in the Tigers’ 2-1
victory.
The win was the first of the 2006 season for DePauw, which plays
three times this week, including SCAC matches at Sewanee and at
Rhodes.
Football - Offensive
TYSON ROY OF
MILLSAPS COLLEGE,
a 5-7, 188-pound junior running back from Baton Rouge, La., has been selected
the SCAC Football Offensive Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday,
September 16.
Roy, after sitting out last week’s game against Louisiana College,
accounted for 266 of the Majors’ 466 total yards, carrying the ball 14 times for
119 yards (8.4 yards per carry) with three touchdowns. He also hauled in eight
catches for 147 yards, with the longest being a 54-yard connection from
quarterback Burt Pereira.
For the season, Roy is averaging 73.5 rushing yards and 93.5 receiving
yards per game. Despite missing a game, his 187 yards receiving is the
second-highest total in the league.
Football - Defensive
JEFF JONES OF
TRINITY UNIVERSITY,
a 6-1, 194-pound linebacker from Houston, Texas, has been selected the SCAC
Football Defensive Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday, September 16.
Jones came off the bench - replacing injured starter Philip Kownslar
early in the game - and put forth one of the best individual defensive efforts
of the year for the Tigers. Jones finished tied for second on the team with eight tackles, but his real
highlights were two second-half interceptions. Jones took his first
career interception back 44 yards for a touchdown, then stepped in front of a
Redlands receiver right at the sideline for his second.
For the season, Jones has 10 tackles in three games played, but had
little significant action until Saturday.

C'DEBACA OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY,
a junior midfielder from Albuquerque, N.M., has been selected the

C'debaca scored the first and last goals of the game in TU's
4-1 non-conference win over Southwestern on Friday night. The game
was the home opener for the top-ranked Tiger men's team. For the
season, C'debaca has scored three goals and one assist to tie
for second on the team with seven goals.

smashing header from a corner kick from Josh Rosendahl to help
Oglethorpe to its first SCAC win of the season.
