MOUNT VERNON — The Cornell College football team has three players who were selected to the All-Midwest Conference team, the league announced Wednesday.
Tight end Charles Zilaitis was a first-team honoree, the ninth player in program history to earn that distinction. Zilaitis had 20 catches for 305 yards and three touchdowns, all in the final seven games of the season.
Punter Gabriel Noyce also is a first-teamer. He led the MWC with a 38.1-yard average, the highest by a Ram since 1984.
Andrew Joseph was named to the second team on the defensive line. Joseph tied for fourth in the conference with 12 tackles for loss and had a team-high 4.5 sacks.
Cornell finished with a 5-5 record, 4-4 in the Midwest Conference.
