30 Oct 11 Carleton College: Varsity Athletics: Men's Soccer: Wills Picks Up Another MIAC Weekly Honor

(from MIAC press release)

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Carleton men’s soccer team won a pair of close games last week to remain atop the MIAC standings as the only team without a loss in conference play. Senior Tim Wills (Sr./Portland, Ore./Central Catholic) led the way, as he has all season, by contributing to all four of the Knights’ goals in the two victories. He scored both goals – including the overtime game-winner – against Saint Mary’s, and followed this showing by assisting on both of Carleton’s goals in a win over Hamline. for his performance, Wills has been named the MIAC Men’s Soccer Athlete-of-the-Week for the second time this season, and it is the third week in a row a Carleton player has claimed the honor.

In Wednesday’s win over Saint Mary’s, Wills scored the first goal of the game in the 54th minute. then after the Cardinals tied the score and forced overtime, he delivered the game winner with a close-range shot with time winding down in the first overtime period. He followed that up by assisting on the only two goals in Carleton’s 2-0 win over Hamline Saturday, setting up the game-winner in the 83rd minute with a perfect through ball, and then he assisted on an insurance score six minutes later on a give-and-go. Wills’ big week padded his status as Carleton’s all-time leader in goals (32), assists (31) and points (95), and this season he has seven goals and four assists for 18 points, and he ranks in the top eight in the MIAC in all three categories.

The Knights have three MIAC matches left in their quest for a conference title and playoff berth. Saturday, they’ll travel to Arden Hills to face Bethel in a 2:30 p.m. conference match, and they’ll wrap up the regular season next week with matches against St. Thomas and St. Olaf.
