Wilkins finished his outstanding career with a league-high nine assists. He had four goals and helped the Bucs qualify and advance to the championship game in the MWC Tournament.

Prouty helped anchor a defense that helped Grinnell qualify for their first NCAA Division III Men’s Soccer Tournament in school history. He earned first team All-MWC recgnition, his third such honor.

Grinnell's Prouty, Exarhos Earn NSCAA Scholar All-Region Honors

12.21.2009 | Men's Soccer

Grinnell, Iowa – Grinnell College’s JP Prouty ’10 was named to the first team of the 2009 National Soccer Coaches Association of America Scholar All-North/Central Region Men’s Soccer Team, while teammate Alex Exarhos ’10 was a second-team selection.


Prouty, a defender from Stilwell, Kan., is a biological chemistry major and Exarhos, a defender from Richland, Wash., is majoring in computer science. Prouty is a three-time All-Region selection, twice before earning third-team honors, while Exarhos was a third-teamer last year. Both again helped the Pioneers earn the Team Academic Award from the NSCAA.


Prouty and Exarhos, who are also multiple All-Midwest Conference selections, helped anchor a Pioneer defense that gave up a measly 1.43 goals a game. Both also ranked second on the team in assists with three, while Prouty was third in goals with five. Exarhos had one goal.

Ollie Octagon wrote:I like that two Grinnell players made it, the deserved representation, but to put Exarhos on the list ahead of Rosenberg and their keeper. It's a reach, people that vote these polls love taking center defenders and just assume they are the reason for any success.
