Jon Fangboner definitely should have received HM. He played out of his mind this year, esp during the Calvin game.

Curtis Meyer i would argue should be 1st team Defense.

Brett Weinberg didn't have much of a challenge this year and only receives HM, that is fishy. Head to Head Brett beat Calvins FOS during the game.

Congrats to Murle on Coach of the Year, his mind set of the game has really pushed GVSU to the level they are now playing at. 16-1 wouldn't have been possible without him.

Your case for Fangboner would have been improved if he was nominated.

zing!

how come there are coaches of the year for north and south? not that its a bad thing, both are deserving. just curious why its dif from division I.

Just curious, but wasn't Ryan D-Angelo from GVSU out most of the season with an injury?

Actually he was only out for one conference game (Saginaw I believe) non-MCLA Butler and then for the Davenport game. He must have rebounded pretty quickly cause in what I assume was his first weekend back he had four goals and then in the calvin game he had four goals. After watching the calvin game he didnt even look healthy but still played quite well.

I know that coach's nominate players but are they limited to how many per position?

Yeah Ryan played injured and still put up huge numbers. Crazy to think what could have happened if he was healthy. Good thing he is getting healthier every day.

3 at Att, Mid, Def
1 at DMS, LSM, FOGO, Goalie

All but zero GVSU players nominated received recognition. Deal with it.

Do the same rules apply for Div 1? I saw somebody ask in that thread, but nobody has replied.

Should be a great weekend in Saline (wherever that is)
