Season in Sports
| FALL 2021
Fall athletes were more than ready to kick off their seasons after COVID-19 forced a longer than usual hiatus from competition. Football hit the gridiron hot with a 5–0 start including a big Homecoming win in the first game in the new Little Giant Stadium. A thrilling come-from-behind victory against DePauw brought the Monon Bell back to Wabash and ended the season with ringing in our ears. Thirteen players received All-NCAC honors: Joey Annee ’22, Thomas Bolen ’22, Seth Buresh ’22, Jackson Clayborne ’22, Brandon English ’23, David Marsh ’22, Joe Mullin ’23, Josh Myers ’22, Will Netting ’24, Dane Smith ’22, Donovan Snyder ’24, Cooper Sullivan ’24, Liam Thompson ’24. Thompson was named the conference’s Offensive Player of the Year, while Annee repeated as Special Teams Player of the Year. Soccer finished the season 11–6–2 and earned a spot in the conference tournament for the fourth consecutive year under head coach Chris Keller. Coledon Johnson ’23, Cristian Aleman ’22, Alexis Delgado ’23, and Jerry Little II ’24 received All-NCAC recognition. Two cross country runners, Ethan Pine ’22 and Brayden Curnutt ’25, earned All-NCAC honors, by finishing 10th and 11th, respectively, at the conference meet. The team finished fourth overall. In Pine’s final career meet, he finished 57th in a field of 266, leading the team to a 21st-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Regional.
