Rudolph earns second team all-conference honors

Men’s soccer sophomore forward Seth Rudolph was named to the All-Atlantic 10 Second Team Wednesday in voting conducted by the conference’s coaches.

Rudolph was second in the A-10 in scoring with 10 goals and was third in the conference with 21 points. The sophomore recorded two hat tricks this season, against Mount St. Mary’s Sept. 11 and against Saint Joseph’s Nov. 7 in GW’s only A-10 win of the season.

Rudolph, who was named A-10 Rookie of the Year last season, struggled at times in front of the goal, men’s soccer head coach George Lidster said.

“Even though he’s our top scorer, we’ve talked about how he needs to be more composed in front of goal, and work a little harder for the ball,” Lidster said after his team’s 4-0 season-ending win Sunday.

Despite Rudolph’s success, the Colonials struggled on the field and had two separate losing streaks of five and eight games, respectively. GW was held scoreless in nine of its last 14 games and also struggled with injuries, especially in goal, for much of the season.
