GENEVA, N.Y. -- It was a banner week for Hobart and William Smith Colleges student-athletes in the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association. The Colleges claimed the men's and women's cross country Runners of the Week, the women's soccer Player of the Week, and the men's soccer Goalie of the Week and Rookie of the Week.

Hobart senior Greg Stowell (Weedsport/Auburn, N.Y.) was named the UCAA Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week after cruising to victory in the Hobart and William Smith Invitational. Stowell covered the 5-mile course in a winning time of 27 minutes, 29 seconds, 66 seconds ahead of the second place finisher.

William Smith first-year Amy Young (HC Williams/Canton, N.Y.) earned the UCAA Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week as she battled through the hilly 5k course at the Hobart and William Smith Invitational in 20 minutes, 1 second. She crossed the finish line 11 seconds in front of her nearest competitor to the Herons to a second place finish in the five-team field.

In two games, senior Tatiana Korba (Wooster/Wooster, Ohio) scored a pair of game-winning goals to help the Herons beat RIT and Hartwick and earn UCAA Women's Soccer Player of the Week honors. She notched a goal and an assist in the 5-1 triumph against RIT and followed that by netting three goals in the 5-0 blanking of Hartwick. Korba, who has compiled a team-leading 17 points, has scored the game-winning goal in three of the Herons' five victories. William Smith (5-2-0) is currently ranked fourth in the NY/Northeast Region by the NSCAA.

Hobart first-year Cory Rosier (Liverpool/Liverpool, N.Y.) posted back-to-back shutouts by blanking Union and RIT to earn UCAA Men's Soccer Goalie and Rookie of the Week honors. He registered 16 saves in 183 minutes of action in the two games. Hobart (5-1-0) is currently ranked sixth in the Northeast Region by the NSCAA.

Hobart and William Smith Colleges are two private, coordinate institutions of higher learning in the liberal arts located along the western shore of Seneca Lake in Geneva, N.Y. Hobart College was founded in 1822 and currently enrolls 835 men. William Smith College for women was founded in 1908 and currently enrolls 952 women. The coordinate system allows the two colleges to share faculty and facilities and provide coeducational classes. However, each college awards its own degrees, has its own dean and admissions office, and maintains its own student government and athletics programs.
