HARRISON, NY February 13, 2007 – Morten Jensen (Stavanger, Norway), a graduate student pursuing an MBA in General Management at Dowling College and Lukasz Hausner (Ramapo, NY), a senior Business major at St. Thomas Aquinas College, have been named the 2006 Co-ECC Men’s Soccer Scholar-Athletes, as voted by the league’s coaches. Jensen maintains a 3.73 grade point average in addition to an impressive athletic resume as he helped his team to the 2006 National Championship, and Hausner, a four-year starter and team captain, possesses a 3.90 grade point average
Jensen, the 2006 Division II NSCAA National Player of the Year, ECC Player of the Year and a First Team CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American, netted the game winning goal in this season’s Division II National Championship game versus Ft. Lewis State. He is Dowling’s all-time leader in goals (72), assists (38), and points (182).

Hausner, a four-year team captain for the Spartans, did not miss a game in his entire career at St. Thomas Aquinas. During the 2006 season, Lukasz scored eight goals and added five assists.
“Excelling in academics and in athletics is characteristic of many ECC Student-Athletes,” said Ed Manetta, ECC Commissioner. “Jensen and Hausner are excellent examples of this, demonstrating dedication in both the classroom and excelling on the soccer field, and they are worthy recipients of the Scholar-Athlete Awards for Men’s Soccer.”
