Helmer Wins Elite 90™ Award for NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championship

 Indiana men's soccer redshirt freshman midfielder Quinten Helmer was named the recipient of the Elite 90 award for the 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship.
 
Helmer, an econ consulting major, currently carries a GPA of 3.971. He was presented the award following Thursday morning's training session in Cary, N.C.
 
The Elite 90, an award founded by the NCAA, recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. The Elite 90 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's championships.

Helmer is the first Hoosier to earn the prestigious honor since Jack Griffith in 2017.
 
Eligible student-athletes are sophomores or above who have participated in their sport for at least two years with their school. All ties are broken by the number of credits completed.

This has nothing to do with IU, but since I live in Virginia, I was watching the U.Va.-FSU women's semifinal. 

It went to PKs -- U.Va. airmailed its first, then was stopped easily on its next two. FSU scored on all three. 

Not sure I've ever seen a poorer performance at PKs.

2021 B1G fall schedule released today.

  1. 9/17 vs Rutgers
  2. 9/21 at Northwestern
  3. 9/26 at Michigan State
  4. 10/1 vs Michigan
  5. 10/12 vs Ohio State
  6. 10/17 at Penn State
  7. 10/24 vs Wisconsin
  8. 10/31 at Maryland

Have to assume we will have full slate of non conference also or we would of played several teams twice like this year. The fact we are down to once obviously means this is Big Ten only and we will have regional rivals back on schedule like Notre Dame, Butler, UK and maybe Evansville and whoever else we add.

Will be nice change to play non-conference again.

Senior forward Thomas Warr will not use his final year of eligibility, per his Instagram page.  The Zionsville native closes out his Hoosier career with six goals and seven assists across 64 appearances and 14 starts.

Very replicable. Decent substitute, but guys like him are a dime a dozen. The bottom line is of the guy's we need back, Glass is the special player and the one we needed of the four seniors and got him.

Black is also a dime a dozen guy. Palazzolo (who has all but said he is leaving) is the next best in the senior group but also flawed. He is a terrific hustler and very fast, but often gets ahead of himself and tries to play quicker than his body allows and can miss easy goals and passes as a result at times. Time for Coleman Gannon, Emerson Nieto and Kyle Folds to step up in mid who have much higher ceiling and are high ranked recruits this year and last. If they can be what they are capable, we may be best team in country or close to it. 

Only other big decision is Bezerra. MLS draft is not until winter, but he could sign is a free agent and is very much ready to do so. If he goes, Wittenbrink is the guy and there will be a drop off. 

If we want to be a top team with a legit shot at a title, we need Bezerra back (very questionable) and Celantano (I think he comes back) as well. We may lose Sessock as well on D, but that's not overly concerning as they have been grooming Lawson Redmon and still have Maher, Munie and Beebej who are among the best in the business and D should be tough as nails like usual.
