Winchell named All-NESCAC in men's soccer
November 13,
2008
It is the first all-conference honor for Winchell (Waltham, Mass.), a four-year starting defender for the Bobcats and a team co-captain. At center back, the 6-foot, 185-pound Winchell led a solid Bates defense in 2008 that allowed 1.33 goals per game, seventh best in the conference -- a number that drops to just 1.08 if one takes out the team's one lopsided loss, a 6-1 decision against Amherst. Winchell is described by head coach George Purgavie as "consistent, strong and intense," on the pitch. He is Bates' first All-NESCAC back since Eben Sypitkowski '05 in 2004. Winchell and the Bobcats finished the year at 9-6 overall and 4-5 in conference play. They earned the fifth seed in the NESCAC Championship, where they lost to Williams in the conference quarterfinals. |
