Once again the Men's Soccer Team has received the Athletic Director's TEAM Academic Achievement Award. This honor, for having the highest cum GPA among all of Quincy University's men's sports teams, is the 10th for the Soccer Hawks out of the last 11 years. Every team member can be proud of the part he played in helping to earn this award, particulary each of our graduating seniors, who did extremely well as a group over the past two semesters.
GREAT JOB HAWKS!!!

Wedemeier Earns Top QU Sports Award
5/5/11
At last night's QU Athletic Awards Dinner, Hawk soccer player Jack Wedemeier was selected as the Mart Heinen Award winner, recognizing him as the schools top male athlete for the 2010-11 school year capping off his terrific four year career. During his senior season, Jack, as a Co-Captain, led the team to its first NCAA National Tournament appearance since 1998, starting all 20 games, scoring 9 goals (3 game winners), and registering 6 assists for a total of 24 scoring points. For these accomplishments, Jack was selected Second Team All-Midwest Region, First Team All-GLVC, and also tabbed as the top GLVC Male Soccer Scholar-Athlete thanks to his 3.69 cum GPA as a Pre-Med major. Over his four-year career Jack started 60 games, knocked in 32 goals along with 19 assists making him one of the most productive Soccer Hawks in recent years. Wedemeier is the first Hawk soccer player to capture the Mart Heinen Award since Heath Tagtmeyer was honored in 1995 for not only his exploits in soccer, but in football and baseball as well.
Also honored with a HAWK Award was goal keeper DJ Lampert. This special award goes to a player on each team "who embodies all that it means to be a team player; overcoming adversity, great improvement, role model, and excellent academic career". After not seeing one minute of game action time during both the 2008 and 2009 seasons DJ earned the starting GK position at the beginning of the 2010 season and went on to start 20 games logging 1929:14 minutes of play. DJ recorded 6 shutouts and had a good .811 GAA (goal against average) which took him from being a benchwarmer to Second Team All-GLVC and Third Team All-Midwest honors.
