BEREA, OHIO -- Eight players from the 2008 Baldwin-Wallace College men's and women's soccer teams were named to the Academic All-Ohio Athletic Conference squad announced today (Wednesday, November 19, 2008). B-W's eight selections were more than any other school in the OAC.
The men selected were senior Academic All-District IV midfielders Michael Grater (Stow/Stow-Munroe Falls) and Cory Kovach (Chagrin Falls/Kenston) were named Academic All-OAC and senior defender Mitch Keidan (Blacklick/Gahanna Lincoln) was named honorable mention.
Grater (3.74 grade average in finance and accounting) was a 2007 All-OAC player and is now a two-time Academic All-OAC selection. He was one of the top defenders in the OAC this season and tallied four assists in 18 games for the 12-5-1 overall Yellow Jackets. Kovach (3.59 grade average in finance and marketing), like Grater, was a four-year starter and a key to the B-W offense. The 2007 All-OAC player was fourth on the team in scoring with five goals for 10 points and second in shots taken with 25. Keidan (3.59 grade average in business administration and sport management) started all 19 games for the Jacket defense and tallied one assist.
