someone could possibly argue that Greg Olson on St. Olaf could be worthy of some sort of recognition. If I am not mistaken He is the league leader in points, with 41 Goals, and 44 Assists. He helped to lead St. Olaf to a 10-3 season in the UMLL Div A. If someone in the league has put up better numbers let me know but 85 points is pretty worthy of recognition in my book.

Also HUGE congrats to Joe Kerwin for receiving Coach of the Year. He accomplished so many things in such little time here at Oregon. We all wish him the best in the future.

I would like to say CONGRATS to everyone, especially my HS teammate (1st team G) Jake Launert and good buddy (3rd team A) Pete Nelson.

Secondly, to answer the Illinois has 3 and CU has 1 can be attributed to this rule I have read before: (However, I cannot find if this rule was in effect this year...?) A conference recieves 3 AA players if they have an AQ. RMLC has no AQ. A conference gets 3 more AA seclections per team in the tourney. CU, CSU and BYU.

Correct me if I am wrong, Sonny?

The MCLA does not have quotas for post season awards.

Who did he score all these points against though? The UMLL is a weaker conference in our league. There is much more to the selection process than a players stats.

Against the only Top 25 team he played (UMD) he put up 0 goals, 0 assists.

Not saying he didn't deserve recognition, but I can see why he didn't make the list.

I for one think that the committee did a very good job with this list. I was impressed by both the breadth of the teams that players were mentioned from, as well as seeing all of the names up there that i expected to see. The guys mentioned were the best at their positions this year, and while i can't attest for every single one of them- had you seen them play, i believe you would be satisfied as well.

I'd also like to congratulate the committee for doing a more complete and thoughtful job of selecting the All-America teams in 2007. It's clear that the MCLA leadership learned a lesson from its hasty selections in 2006 and the benefit of doing so is reflected in the best balanced list I've seen.
