Snelgrove takes
Player of the Week Honors for Oct. 9-15
CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Houghton midfielder
Jr. Josiah Snelgrove
(Coldstream, New Brunswick)
and Rio Grande goalkeeper Derek Talcott (Independence, MO) are the AMC men's
soccer Players of the Week.
Snelgrove, a 6-foot-1 junior who is also the NAIA Region IX Player of the Week,
scored two goals with three assists in two victories for the Highlanders. He
erupted for two goals and two assists in a 5-2 decision over AMC North Division
foe Daemen. Snelgrove then set up the lone score in a 1-0 win against Tiffin
which was Houghton's first over the Dragons in eight years. Tiffin has been
responsible for the early departure for the Highlanders
in AMC playoff play in 2003, 2002, and 1999.
Snelgrove scored his first two collegiate goals ever of
his career against Daemen College.
The
Highlanders have looked impressive outscoring their
opponents 15-5 in their last seven games and posting a
4-2-1 record in that span. This will be a great run up
to the playoffs for the Highlanders peaking at the right
time in the season.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
