John Szawlowski & Trevor Powers earn D3football.com All-East honors

Eph senior football standouts John Szawlowski (Hatfield, MA) and Trevor Powers (Danvers, MA) were accorded D3football.com All-East honors recently.

Szawlowksi, a three-year starter at left offensive tackle, was named to the region's First Team, while Powers, a captain and LB, was named to the Third Team.

Both Szawlowski and Powers were honored earlier this fall by being named to the All-NESCAC First Team. The First Team All-NESCAC honors this fall were the third year in a row that Szawlowski has been recognized, while Powers was named for the second straight year.

Playing the key left offensive tackle and protecting the Eph QB's blind side was a role that Szawlowski performed almost flawlessly as he permitted just three sacks in 24 career starts.

Powers topped the Eph tacklers for the second year in a row when he racked up 42 solos and 26 assists this fall. His 42 solos was just one shy of the Eph single season Division III mark. The ever-active Powers also recorded nine tackles for a loss (-29 yards), two sacks (-17 yards), broke up two passes and recovered one fumble.

Szawlowski and Powers were key in helping the Ephs post a 6-2 record, a fourth consecutive Little Three title and a fourth straight win over archrival Amherst (24-23).
