Griffin, Ritchie Named to Tewaaraton Trophy Watch List
Bentley University junior midfielder Jaclyn Griffin (Barrington, Ill./Barrington) and senior attack Alyssa Ritchie (North Andover, Mass./North Andover) of the women’s lacrosse team have been named to the Tewaaraton Trophy Watch List. The trophy is regarded as the top lacrosse award in the United States and is given to the best male and female collegiate lacrosse player in the country.
Players across all three NCAA divisions are eligible for the award. Bentley is one of just two Northeast-10 schools to have a player on the list.
Griffin led Bentley in goals last season with 50, which set a new team record for most goals in a single-season. She also recorded the third highest single-season points total in school history with 71.
Ritchie was second on the team in goals with 45 and was first in assists and points with 31 and 76 respectively. The 76 points by the former Division II All-American is the second highest single-season total in Bentley history, trailing only the 92 points she notched as a sophomore.
Both players were named first team All-NE-10 at the end of the year.
Bentley opens its season on March 8 with a home game against Philadelphia University at 10:00 am.

Trophy News from Walnut Creek, California….
Mack And Reed Names 29th Morris Trophy Winners
Mack becomes just the third offensive lineman, and the first since Washington’s Lincoln Kennedy in 1991-92, to be named a two-time winner of the award.
Center Alex Mack of California and defensive end Nick Reed of Oregon have been named winners of the 29th annual Morris Trophy. Mack becomes just the third offensive lineman, and the first since Washington’s Lincoln Kennedy in 1991-92, to be named a two-time winner of the award.
The Morris Trophy is a unique award given to the outstanding offensive and defensive linemen in the Pacific-10 Conference. What makes the award unique is the selection procedure, which has the starting offensive linemen in the Conference voting for the defensive winner and vice versa. It is truly a players’ award.
Mack, a 6-foot-5, 316-pound senior from Santa Barbara, Calif., was named a first-team All-Pac-10 performer for the third straight year in voting by the Pac-10 head coaches and also has been selected the second-team All-America center by the Walter Camp Foundation. In addition, Mack became the first Pac-10 player to be awarded the prestigious Draddy Trophy by the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame to the nation’s top scholar-athlete. He has started all 37 games at center for the Golden Bears the last three seasons. In addition to his prowess on the field, Mack was named a first-team Pac-10 All-Academic selection by virtue of a 3.60 grade-point average in Graduate Studies. (more…)

Trophy news from Statesman.com….
Orakpo Wins Nagurski Trophy
In a conference known for nothing but offense, the first major national award of the college football banquet season went to … a Big 12 defensive player.
“There goes that theory,” Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo joked Sunday after winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, given to the nation’s top defender.
Orakpo flew to Charlotte, N.C., on Sunday, a day after participating in graduation at UT.
This fall, the son of Nigerian immigrants finished up the final three hours he needed to earn a degree in youth and community studies.
Next on Orakpo’s itinerary is Wednesday’s Lombardi Trophy ceremony, which honors the nation’s top lineman.
After a quick trip back to Austin for Friday’s Longhorn football banquet, Orakpo will leave for Newport Beach, Calif., for a black-tie dinner Sunday to honor finalists for the Lott Trophy . That award goes to a defensive player for work on and off the field. (more…)

NCAA Football Trophy News…
Heisman Trophy Watch – Week 15
Sam Bradford helped his team dominate against last week in a 62-21 victory over Missouri in the Big 12 Championship game. Bradford has now lead the Sooners to 5 straight games of 60+ points and he continues to lead all of FBS with 48 passing touchdowns. Bradford is also third in total passing yards and first in all of college football in QB rating. He’s lead his team to the National Championship, something only Tim Tebow on this list can claim as well. Bradford has been consistently the best player in college football this year and should be considered as the favorite for the trophy, which, according to SportsBook.com, Bradford is the favorite, at -400 to win the Heisman Trophy this year.
Colt McCoy is a victim of circumstance this year. His team missed out on the Big 12 Championship and a bid to the BCS Championship game because of a 3-way tie in the Big 12 South, in which the tie-breaker went to the Oklahoma Sooners, even though McCoy and his Longhorns were the only team to beat Oklahoma this year. In addition to missing out on a national title, McCoy also lost a chance to improve on his Heisman resume. While Bradford and Tebow lead their teams to impressive victories on national television, McCoy was nowhere to be seen, his team idle this weekend. I would still contend that no single player in college football has meant more to his team than McCoy, but things simply didn’t line up right for him to win the Heisman in 2008. McCoy certain had a Heisman-worthy year, passing for 3,445 yards, 32 touchdowns, and completing an improbable and impressive 77.5% of his passes. It’s just too bad for Colt that Sam Bradford’s team ended up with all of the BCS luck this season. McCoy lost out to Bradford for both the Big 12 Player of the Year and First-Team Big 12 QB honors, and it appears he will also fall second to Bradford in the Heisman voting as well. (more…)

>Trophy News from Orlando, FL
Could Florida's Tim Tebow join former Ohio State great Archie Griffin as the only players to win multiple Heisman Trophies? The Gators’ dual-threat quarterback is the betting favorite on betED.com’s odds for the 2008 Heisman.
Here is a look at betED.com’s favorites and a breakdown of their chances of hoisting college football’s most prestigious award.
Tim Tebow, Florida QB – 250: In 2007, he was a one-man wrecking crew for the Gators, passing for 3,286 yards and 32 touchdowns and rushing for 895 yards and 25 more scores. Tebow’s top three receivers return, including star Percy Harvin. So every 2008 Heisman Trophy Prediction list must start with the reigning winner. But Tebow wore down a bit last year, and Urban Meyer has said he doesn’t want his bruising lefty to run the ball as much this year and thus save him from punishment. So with Chris Rainey, Emmanuel Moody and even Harvin getting plenty of carries, there’s no way Tebow’s 2008 numbers will match last season’s, even though the Gators are likely a better team. Make or break game: 10/11 vs. LSU.

Trophy News From Simi Valley, CA
Winning the Heisman Trophy does not guarantee a college football player a long and successful pro career, although every football player would love the bronze statue displayed on their mantle. Even if they do not have a successful career, they could use it like O.J. did as collateral to help pay off civil penalties.

Trophy News from Oklahoma
Berry Tramel ranks the best trophies in college football- TREASURES OF VICTORY
?1. Little Brown Jug Trophy: Michigan & Minnesota. In 1903, Michigan coach Hurryup Fielding Yost left his water jug in a Minnesota locker room, later asked for it back and was told he’d have to win it back. And so Michigan has, mostly, for more than a century.
?2. Victory Bell Trophy: Cincinnati & Miami-Ohio. Cincy fans “borrowed” Miami’s bell in the 1890s, and it’s been traveling ever since.
?3. Old Oaken Bucket Trophy: Indiana & Purdue. Established in 1925.
?4. Golden Egg Trophy: Mississippi State & Ole Miss. Established in 1927 to serve as bounty for the winner so the goal posts wouldn’t be destroyed.
?5. Commander in Chief’s Trophy: Air Force, Army & Navy. Later-generation hardware, but the most noble, given to the round-robin winner among the service academies.
?6. Paul Bunyan’s Axe Trophy: Minnesota & Wisconsin. Established in 1948 and symbolic of the lumberjack regions of these schools. Minnesota would have some cool trophies, if the Gophers could win more consistently.
?7. Illy Illibuck Trophy: Ohio State & Illinois. A wooden turtle trophy, established in 1926, a year after the winner was awarded a real turtle.
?8. Golden Hat Trophy: Oklahoma & Texas. Actually started in 1929 as the Bronze Hat, a gift from the Texas State Fair for agreeing to play in Dallas.
?9. Jeweled Shillelagh Trophy: USC & Notre Dame. Produced in 1952 to celebrate the 26-year anniversary of the rivalry.
?10. Apple Cup Trophy: Washington State & Washington. Simple yet elegant name for a trophy instituted in 1962.
?11. Old Brass Spittoon Trophy: Michigan State & Indiana. Established 1950. The Big Ten clearly has the corner on great trophies.
?12. Platypus Trophy: Oregon State & Oregon. Established in 1959 but mysteriously disappeared in 1961 before reappearing in this decade. Makes this list because a platypus has features of both a duck and a beaver.
?13. Iron Skillet Trophy: SMU & TCU. Legend has it, an SMU tailgater in the 1950s was frying frog legs, and one thing led to another.
?14. Fremont Cannon Trophy: UNLV & Nevada. A replica of a cannon that explorer John Fremont hauled West and abandoned in an 1844 snowdrift. Actually fired until 1999.
?15. Telephone Trophy: Missouri & Iowa State. Seems the opposing coaches in 1959 could hear each other on rotary pressbox phones. The gaffe was fixed before kickoff, but Northwestern Bell had a trophy made to honor the occasion.

M.S.C. Hermann Trophy winner turns down MLS Superdraft opportunity
O’Brian White has a Facebook – and uses it too. He can tell you how to cook a traditional Jamaican meal and although White admits he’s not faster than Usain Bolt, he is one of Bolt’s biggest fans.
White walks to classes, talks in a soft voice with a Jamaican accent and puts out a firm handshake. To many, he’s the average 23-year old living the average college life.
But in the world of collegiate soccer, he’s known as something a little more than average. He’s the best NCAA Division I soccer player in the country and the title isn’t self-acclaimed.
