It hurts being right all the time...

So what do the awards look like?

Wow, two Carroll guys for the POY's. Didn't think we had that seeing as we did not win the tournament. Congrats to all Players.

Hey Pender...you deserved to be on there, no doubt.

What do the awards look like?

yeah but whatever, its my first year actually playing so whatever, ill be on there next year for sure when carroll wins the MWC tourny.

the award are trophies with each being about 3ft tall and gold encrested medal plate at the bottom with your name and such to reward this great achievement...

Thats sweet. Its funny how you were always right and that Grinnels keeper didnt get anything.

HEY DANIEL!

Jake???

Uncle Frank??? Where are you guys???

What?????

Home Alone man

I don't know what's worse, Schemper not getting anything or Prentice getting second team the years prior to this.

Lipps lost to Schemper on the conference tourney. Why include the tournament in the voting if the keeper that blocks two shots and wins the game, is beaten out by a keeper blocked one shot and lost the game?

What a joke. Lipps is good but there is no way Schemper should have been left off.

One performance isnt going to get you all-conference. Consistency

Craig- I got you now.

carter- I personally think that a lot of ppl got jipped this year on the voting so it didnt surprise me that Schemper didnt get on here but i just thought it was funny how this voting thing works. Ya know?

Grinnell allowed 1.03
Beloit allowed 1.23

Schemper outplayed Lipps in the playoff game and in the regular season. The only reason I can think of that Lipps gets on the list, is that Schemper got ejected from the Ripon game.

Even still, red cards do happen and should not leave him off.

Stats aside, I thought Schemper was a better player.

This sort of stuff is always a joke. Some teams love to vote for their own players (maybe for recruiting purposes) some teams don't vote for any of their players because they don't believe in it (maybe not entirely but I think Carroll guys see this in the POW awards...)

There is no perfect system but including the players or even the fans (if they exist, haha), would add a new wrinkle to it.

Im going to have to go with craig on this one its consistency

I think with this new formation if they continue it with Offensive and Defensive POY it leaves out all consideration for midfielders haha

How is a Midflieder supposed to get POY over forwards who are statistically dominant?? I think it has shown in the girls player of the year award. They have done the def/off system for years and a mid. has never won the offensive POY award....

ps. I think Ben should have made 2nd team, but for him he still has next year to prove himself

DAMN IT ALL!!! I thought i just proved Schemper was not only more consistent but ALSO won the MWC tournament IN A SHOOT OUT!!!

Aside from walking on water and giving birth to a forward that could actually score at halftime, what more do you want Schemper to do?!?!??!?!

He isnt better i think lipps is better on any given day. Even if he could do that stuff he still wouldnt be better. I think the three top keepers in MWC are:
1) Stas
2) Lipps
3) Schemper

In that order too.

When comparing statistics Schemper's were better and he played in 8 games compared to Lipps 7. And they tied both game during the year but Grinnell advanced in the MWC tournament so if I was a coach I would have given the nod to Schemper. Whether Lipps or Schemper is the better goalie you have to look at what they have done on paper. And thats the reason why I knew Stas would get 1st team. "Statistically dominant" and hes just a beast in between the pipes period

True that. Stas is a beast and always will be.

Agreed. It is certainly close and I honestly do not know who is more talented but I do know that I was more impressed with Schemper. Not talking about one game either, I saw them each four times.

are you talking about Stas and Schemper or Schemper and Lipps?

Schemper/Lipps im hoping lol

yeah me too

Is there a power outage on the Grinnell campus?

I was wondering the same thing. Is Grinnell under attack or something?
