College football

Wolverines win another Lambert Cup: The Wesley College Football team has earned their second straight Division III Lambert Meadowlands Trophy, awarded to the top team in the East by the Metropolitan New York Football Writers’ Association.

The Wolverines earned the honor after an 11-2 campaign that included a trip to the NCAA Division III quarterfinals.

The honor marks Wesley’s sixth Lambert Meadowlands Trophy. The Wolverines also earned the honor in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2014.

Only two schools have received the award more times than the Wolverines (Rowan with eight and Ithaca with seven and a half), but no team has earned the award more frequently than Wesley in the past decade.

“We’re proud to be honored with the Lambert Meadowlands Trophy for the sixth time in nine years,” said Wesley coach Mike Drass. “It’s a point of pride in our program to be honored as the number one team on the East Coast.”

Lambert Award recipients will be honored on Feb. 25, at the Eastern College Football Awards Banquet at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
