March 12 – Oberlin College head men’s soccer coach Blake New will host three camps this summer for players of all ages.
-- Following a vote by North Coast Athletic Conference coaches, four Oberlin men’s soccer players were named to the 2007 All-NCAC team. The squad finished with seven victories, including wins over two of the conference's top four teams.
-- Not many college athletes make the transition from Division III to Division I in their senior year, but that is exactly what Ross Myers did this fall when he transferred to Columbia University. Myers had a stellar three-year career with the Oberlin men’s soccer team, but switched to Columbia as part of the 3-2 engineering program and earned a spot on the men’s soccer team.
In 2006, Myers started all 18 games for the Yeomen at defense and received honorable mention All-NCAC accolades and team defensive MVP honors for his performance. Myers was able to parlay this success into earning a spot on Columbia’s roster and he has seen action in a handful of games this season for the Lions, who finish their 2007 campaign on November 17 against Brown University.

October 15 -- John Lindner, a junior midfielder for the Oberlin men's soccer team, was named the North Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week after leading the Yeomen past Wittenberg University this past Saturday. Lindner scored the game-winner to give Oberlin 2-1 triumph over the Tigers, who entered the contest ranked 14th in the nation.
With less than seven minutes left in a 1-1 tied match against Wittenberg, Lindner, a native of Hanover Park, Ill. (Glenbard North High School), controlled an unsettled ball in the box and slammed in the game-winning goal for the Yeomen. He will look to lead Oberlin past Hiram College on October 20 at 2:00 p.m. |
