November 23, 2010
November 23, 2010, Greencastle, Ind. — "DePauw
University and Millsaps College finished 1-2 in the 2010 Southern
Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) football standings, and for
that success on the gridiron, both were awarded with two major
awards each with today’s announcement of the 2010 All-SCAC
Football team," notes the conference. "In exclusive voting by the head coaches of the conference, Alex
Koors of DePauw was selected as the league's Offensive
Player of the Year ... while
DePauw’s Robby Long earned SCAC Coach of the Year honors for
the second straight year," notes the SCAC.
"Alex Koors, a 6-2, 175-pound senior receiver from Indianapolis, Ind., had 86 receptions for 1,255 yards and 16 touchdowns 
this
season to lead all SCAC receivers, the conference's announcement states. "He caught a touchdown pass in 10
of 11 games this season and had 100+ yards receiving in six game. A
four-year starter, 2009 All-American and three-time all-conference
selection, Koors ends his career as the owner of every major SCAC
career receiving mark, including total receptions (255), yards
receiving (3,850), yards receiving per game (96.25) and receiving
touchdowns (42). Koors is also the first receiver in the history of
the league to twice be honored as SCAC Player of the Year."
It adds, "After guiding DePauw to its second consecutive SCAC football title
and fourth in 13 seasons of competition, Robby Long was selected by
his peers as SCAC Coach of the Year. In his 
second year as head coach, Long led the Tigers to a perfect 6-0 conference mark and a
berth in the Division III playoffs for the second consecutive
season. In a season of historic firsts, DePauw started the year 9-0
for the first time in school history and also was selected to host
a NCAA playoff game for the first time. Despite the 45-35
first-round playoff loss to eighth-ranked Trine University, the
Tigers equaled the school record for single-season wins with nine -- matching the mark set in both 1981 and 1996."
Joining Koors on the first team All-SCAC offense were junior guard Lewis Brown,
senior guard Mark Kreuzman, senior wide receiver Brayden Dahlstrom and
senior quarterback Michael Engle. 
On the defensive side of the ball, senior tackle Tyler Doane, junior end
Michael Fultz, senior linebacker Ryan Preuss, senior strong safety
Jonathan Lambert and junior cornerback Steve Valdiserri each were chosen
to the first team.
The Tigers finished the 2010 season with a 9-2 record and made the NCAA Division III playoffs for the second consecutive year.
