CC Hockey Ranked No. 1

Sterling '06

Eight games into the season, the hockey team found itself ranked No. 1 in the national polls despite a rash of injuries that kept as many as six regulars out of the lineup during the first month. CC got off to a 7-1 start, including a 3-2 overtime victory against the University of Maine in the IceBreaker Invitational and a 1-0 triumph over Ohio State a week later.

Left wing Brett Sterling ’06, one of five Tigers to earn WCHA Player of the Week honors during October, also was named CSTV/Hockey Commissioners Association National Player of the Month after fueling a series sweep at Minnesota State University Oct. 28 and 29.

Volleyball Coach Swan Snags Record 150th Win

Morrill '06

Head Coach Rick Swan became the winningest volleyball coach in CC history when the Tigers defeated Pomona-Pitzer Colleges on Sept. 17. He surpassed Sharon Peterson’s total of 148 (1979-84). Later that day, he recorded CC win No. 150 when the Tigers beat the University of Redlands.

Outside hitter Sarah Morrill ’06 was named the female Student-Athlete of September by the Association of Division III Independents. She set a school record for kills in a single match with 39 against George Fox University. On Oct. 1, she became the fifth player in the program’s history to eclipse the 1,000-kill plateau.

Outside hitter Anna Clithero ’09 was named the Association of Division III Independents national Player of the Week after leading the Tigers to a pair of 3-0 victories against Aurora University.

Richardson Wins 450th; Olson Soccer Field Dedicated

Fagan '08

Soccer forward Pat Fagan ’08 was named the Association of Division III Independents Player of the Week in October after leading CC to a 3-2 victory over Augustana College. Fagan set up the game-tying goal in the 82 nd minute, then scored the game-winner in overtime as the Tigers (12-7) rallied from a two-goal halftime deficit.

Richardson

Also in October, the Colorado College men’s soccer team gave Head Coach Horst Richardson career victory No. 450 with a 3-1 win over the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. Richardson, now in his 40 th season at CC, earned the milestone victory on a day when CC’s practice field was dedicated in the name of the late Tiger great Brigham Olson ’85.

In November, the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation presented Richardson with the Col. F. Don Miller Award, which recognizes those who have made lasting contributions to sports locally.

Lachmann Leads in Tackles; Craig Nearing Receiving Record

Lachmann '07

Craig '06

Defensive back Jeremy Lachmann ’07 leads the NCAA Division III in tackles, averaging 8.6 solo tackles per game, and is tied for seventh in total tackles, averaging 13.1 per game.
