Kaufman, Callahan earn Athletes of the Week honors

FOR RELEASE October 25, 2004
HUNTINGTON, IN— The Huntington College Athletics Department announced its Athletes of the Week for the week of October 18-24, 2004. Women’s soccer freshman Sarah Kaufman and men’s soccer junior David Callahan earned the honors for their outstanding efforts during the week’s competitions.

Sarah Kaufman, a freshman from Ada, Mich. (Forest Hills Central High School), scored all four of the Foresters’ goals during the week to help lead the team to a 1-1 record.  In Huntington’s 3-2 loss to Indiana Wesleyan University, Kaufman’s two goals were the most allowed by the Wildcats’ keeper in eight Mid-Central Conference (MCC) matches.  In the Foresters’ second game of the week, a 2-0 upset win over #3-seeded Bethel College in the MCC tournament, Kaufman scored a goal in each half to lead Huntington to the program’s first-ever tournament victory.  Huntington is currently 8-8 on the season and will travel to #2-seeded Spring Arbor University on Wednesday, October 27, for the 2:00 p.m. semi-finals of the MCC Tournament.
 

David Callahan, a business management major from Huntington, Ind. (Huntington North High School), scored Huntington’s final two goals against Indiana Wesleyan University to ignite the Foresters’ 4-2 come-from-behind win.  For the season, Callahan is the Foresters’ third leading scorer with six goals.  Huntington is 6-8-2 on the season heading into the MCC postseason tournament this week.  The #8-seeded Foresters will host the #9-seeded Wildcats of Indiana Wesleyan University on Thursday, October 28, at 2:00 p.m., to determine who will move on to play the top-seeded Bethel College Pilots on Saturday.

The Huntington College Foresters compete in 14 intercollegiate sports for men and women. In the past seven years, Huntington has produced 49 NAIA All-American honors and 91 All-American Scholar Athlete honors.
