The 2007 Liberty League End-of-Season Awards, announced May 3.

2007 Liberty League Player of the Year
Justin Demuth   St. Lawrence
Senior Goaltender (Jordan, New York)
The backstop of a Saint defense that ranks sixth in the NCAA, Demuth is himself among the national leaders in both save percentage and goals-against-average. He is one of only four netminders nationwide with a GAA under five as of the most recent national rankings. His efforts have helped the Saints to a 12-1 mark in the regular season, including a perfect 6-0 record in Liberty League play for the second consecutive season.

2007 Liberty League Co-Rookie of the Year
John Capitani   Skidmore
Goaltender (Garden City, New York)
Capitani stepped into the starting goaltender position for the Thoroughbreds in his rookie year and made an immediate impact. He ranks second among all Liberty League netminders in save percentage, third in saves per game, and fourth in goals-against average. A three-time selection as Liberty League Rookie of the Week, Capitani helped Skidmore to a 5-1 mark in Liberty League play.

2007 Liberty League Co-Rookie of the Year
Will McKee   St. Lawrence
Attack (Old Greenwich, Connecticut)
A three-time selection as Liberty League Rookie of the Week, McKee was the second-leading goal scorer for the Saints, contributing 20 tallies for an offense that ranks 18th nationally. His efforts helped the Saints to a 12-1 mark this season including a perfect 6-0 in the Liberty League.

2007 Liberty League Coaching Staff of the Year
Jack Sandler   Skidmore
After an 0-5 start to this season and a 2-4 mark in the Liberty League in 2006, Sandler rallied the Thoroughbreds to five straight wins in league play this season. Skidmore claimed the second seed in the Liberty League tournament with a 5-1 league mark and will host Clarkson in a semifinal on Friday.
