\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 9, 2007 \u2013 Few student-athletes get to experience what Mark Sauter has at the 溏心vlog免费B站: three Atlantic 10 Conference soccer titles in four years; three trips to the NCAA tournament and being a member of the dean\u2019s list every semester at the University.<\/p>\n


\n\tSauter, of Columbus, Ohio, earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in December as a history and political science major. He\u2019ll celebrate his accomplishments by participating in this month\u2019s commencement exercises.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe former Rhody goalkeeper is planning to pursue law school and hopes to be admitted to the University of Cincinnati.<\/p>\n


\n\tSoccer coach John O\u2019Connor envisions a great future for Sauter. \u201cHe was the starting keeper for the 2006 season, but freshman Chris Pennock slowly edged him out. Mark understood and embraced the team concept. He is the type of player who is ready whether you need him whether it is for 5 minutes or 90. Chris missed the game against Harvard because of an injury, and Mark went the whole 90 minutes. He was a very important part of a big win. Mark was a gentleman throughout the season and he was especially important during our A-10 and NCAA runs.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tO\u2019Connor said Sauter\u2019s maturity and intellect set him apart. \u201cHe was a member of the team who helped the younger guys on the field and on their studies. I see him having a bright future as a lawyer.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tSauter finished with a 3.9 grade point average and was named to the Atlantic 10 Academic All Conference team in the fall. He was named to the A-10 Commissioner\u2019s Honor Roll six times. He is this year\u2019s recipient of the President\u2019s Excellence Award in history. A member of the Phi Eta Sigma freshman honor society and Chi Alpha Sigma national college athlete honor society, he was named the outstanding history student in his junior and senior years at 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n


\n\tSauter is proud of his academic record, but he said the personal connections at 溏心vlog免费B站 have meant the most to him. \u201cMy time here was great because we had great players who have become great friends,\u201d Sauter said. \u201cMy fellow players were from 12 countries and so we learned a great deal from each other. There were so many lessons about culture, religion and families. I got so much out of it.<\/p>\n


\n\t \u201cI\u2019ll miss every day practicing with the guys; I guess it\u2019s all over too quickly,\u201d said Sauter, one of the keynote speakers at a reception earlier this year for student-athletes on the dean\u2019s list.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI am extremely grateful to my coaches, and especially for the O\u2019Connors\u2019 home cooked team meals,\u201d he said during the reception. \u201c It was an honor to be part of his family. I hope to conduct myself in such a manner as a young adult and later on when I have a family.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tSauter said without the many individual encounters on campus he would not have become who he is today. \u201cI credit my personal growth to interaction with my teammates. I have heard firsthand accounts of struggles in other countries through my teammates. Even when there were differences in our races, religions and cultures, we came together. These are the life lessons that have enriched my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
