McGinnis Ties Goal Record

Andre Zarb-Cousin ’72 was among the first to congratulate Patrick McGinnis ’05 when McGinnis tied Zarb-Cousin’s school record for goals scored in a single season. Zarb-Cousin lives in Colorado Springs, where he runs and lifts weights; he recently qualified for the Senior Olympics in the 50-meter and 100-meter races.

Two eras of Colorado College men’s soccer were united Oct. 20 when Patrick McGinnis ’05 tied the school record for goals in a single season. McGinnis scored twice in a 2-1 victory over DePauw University, giving him 33 for the season and a share of the record set by Andre Zarb-Cousin ’72 in 1970.

McGinnis also became the school’s single-season points leader with 74; he ranks sixth in career goals (55) and career points (135), despite playing only three seasons with the Tigers. Zarb-Cousin is in a three-way tie for third place with 63 career goals, and his 136 career points put him at fifth place.

McGinnis, who also leads the nation (all divisions) in both goals and points, helped the Tigers build a 14-2-1 record with three regular-season games remaining. CC’s .853 winning percentage is its best since the 1992 team went 18-2-2 (.864) and advanced to the national semifinals.

Women Harriers Win Three Straight

The women’s cross country team posted three consecutive first-place finishes this fall, winning the New Mexico Highlands Cross Country Jam in September, the Colorado College Autumn Classic on Oct. 2, and the college division of the Fort Hays State University Invitational on Oct. 9.

The Tigers finished 1-2-3 at their home meet at Monument Valley Park, led by Angie Kremer ’07 with a time of 24:25.2. Jenny Jorgensen ’05 was a close second, followed by Jeanine Stewart ’06. Jorgensen paced the Tigers at Fort Hays State with another second-place finish, while Christy Sweaney ’08 took second at New Mexico Highlands with 20:53.

Hockey Starts Strong

The CC hockey team got off to a good start by defeating Union College by identical 4-2 scores at home, Oct. 15-16. After four nonconference victories and a November split at North Dakota, the Tigers earned fourth and fifth spots in the national polls after being ranked 12th and 14th in the preseason. Defenseman Mark Stuart ’06 was named a preseason All-American by Inside College Hockey.

Marquis Malcom ’08 ran for a school record 344 yards during the Homecoming game — the top single-game performance in Division III. At press time, Malcom’s game trailed only a 410-yard performance by Division II Ferris State’s Andrew Terry as the top performance in U.S. college football this year.

Malcom Sets Record Against Macalester

Marquis Malcom ’08 ran for a school-record 344 yards and four touchdowns to lead the CC football team to a come-from-behind 56-24 Homecoming victory over Macalester College on Oct. 9. His total eclipsed the old standard of 298 yards set by Pat Geonetta ’83 in 1980. Malcom scored on bursts of 89, 65, 49, and three yards to pace a CC ground attack that compiled 580 net yards for the afternoon.

Kernan Leads Women’s Soccer

The women’s soccer team took an 8-5-1 record into its final three matches of the season. Stevie Kernan ’06, who led the Tigers with eight goals overall through 14 outings, scored the game-winner in five of the eight victories.

Reed Sets Record for Digs

Reed '05

Libero Aubrey Reed ’05 became the school’s career leader in digs when she recorded 19 in a victory over Kansas Wesleyan University on Sept. 25. After that match, she had 1,373 digs for CC, five more than the former record held by Elissa Breitbard ’88. At press time, Reed had 1,641 career digs; she also owns the top two single-season marks: 550 in 2003, 473 this year.

Schuldt '06

Setter Heidi Schuldt ’06 became CC’s career leader in service aces when she tallied four in a loss to Midland Lutheran College on Oct. 22. She finished the volleyball match with 137, one more than Amy Smith ’88. Schuldt has led the team in service aces in each of her three seasons at CC, and she holds the second and fourth highest single-season totals: 55 in 2003, 50 in 2002.
