Bronx, N.Y. -
As the 2009-10 season begins to wind down, the Fordham University Athletic Department held its 76th annual Block F Awards Dinner at the Villa Barone Manor on May 6th to honor Fordham University's student-athletes for their accomplishments during the academic year.
Among those honored was sophomore Tim Richardson, who was named the 2009 men's soccer most valuable player.
Richardson, the 2009 Atlantic 10 Midfielder of the Year and First Team All-Conference selection, had a superb sophomore campaign, leading the Rams in goals (six), points (14), and game-winning goals (three), all of which were career-highs. Most of that damage came in league play with four goals, nine points, and two game-winning goals against Atlantic 10 competition. He tied for eighth in the conference in goals and tied for fourth in game-winning tallies (four).
Richardson became the second Fordham Ram to receive a major men's soccer award from the Atlantic 10, joining former Fordham standout John Wolyniec (`98), who was named the 1998 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year. He was also named Second Team All-Mid-Atlantic Region by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
