Blake of Williams Earns Player of the Year
HARTFORD, Conn. – Sophomore forward Alex Blake of Williams was named the 2000 NESCAC Men’s Soccer Player of the Year. Blake, the 1999 NESCAC Rookie of the Year, led the conference in scoring with 18 goals and 41 points in leading the Ephs to the top seed in the conference tournament.
Blake’s teammates Ted Giannacopoulos and Josef Powell each earned first-team All-NESCAC honors for the second consecutive year. Giannacopoulos, a junior forward, and Powell, a junior midfielder, were the only two non-seniors named to the first team in 1999.

Three players from NESCAC champion Middlebury received first-team recognition. Senior back Sergey Cherednichenko, junior goalkeeper Brian Hamm, and junior midfielder Nelson Martelle were named to the All-NESCAC first team.
Rounding out the All-NESCAC first team were sophomore forward Morgan Sandell of Trinity and sophomore midfielder Peter Dee of Connecticut College.
Freshman forward Franklin Perry of Amherst, who led the Jeffs in goals and was the conference leader in scoring among first-year players, was named 2000 NESCAC Rookie of the Year. 22nd-year Williams head coach Mike Russo was named 2000 NESCAC Coach of the Year.
