CALVIN SPORTS REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 29, 2008
Calvin Soccer Players Receive MIAA Defensive Player of the Week Honors/Men's
Golf Competes at MIAA Outing
MIAA PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS
A pair of Calvin soccer players have received MIAA Defensive Player of the
Week honors as senior goalkeeper Darrin Cline has been named the MIAA Men's
Defensive Player of the Week while junior midfielder Allison Boender has been
named the MIAA Women's Defensive Player of the Week.
A senior from Grandville (Grandville HS), Cline had back-to-back shutouts in
the net this past week to lower his season goals-against-average to 1.28. Last
Wednesday, Cline had several crucial saves in a 2-0 victory over Albion, and
followed that with another stellar performance in a 1-0 win over Alma.
Cline has four shutouts in eight games for the Knights this season and has 10
shutouts in his career.
Boender is also from Grandville and is a graduate of Grandville Calvin
Christian High School. This past Saturday, Boender led a strong Knights’
defense in a 5-0 victory at Hope in their conference opener. She shut down
Hope’s leading scorer and minimized her impact on the game. With Boender
spearheading the defense, Calvin has allowed just eight goals in eight games
this season.
The Calvin men's soccer team returns to action on Tuesday when it travels to
Kalamazoo for a 4:00 p.m. league match. The Calvin women's soccer team is back
in action on Wednesday when it journeys to Adrian for a 4:00 p.m. contest.
