Congrats to Southern Connecticut State football team on its honor.

Often these awards reflect extended achievements as well, so while New Haven might have had the better all-around season, Southern deserves to be recognized for its success not only this season, but for having 11 straight winning seasons.

The Southern Connecticut State University football team has been selected as the 2011 ECAC Division II Football Team of the Year. The Owls will be honored at the annual Eastern College Football Awards Banquet presented by FieldTurf Tarkett on Thursday, Feb. 16 in the Lexus Club of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

 

A reception will begin at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and the evening program at 7 p.m. The event, which drew a record 300 guests last February, will honor the ECAC teams of the year, winners of the Lambert Meadowlands Award, ECAC players and rookies of the year and ECAC All-Stars from the 2011 football season. In addition, the Red Hill awards recognizing the ECAC football officials of the year will be handed out.

 

Southern Connecticut concluded the 2011 season with an overall mark of 7-3 (6-2 Northeast-10 Conference). It marked the 11^th consecutive winning season for the Owls.

The 80th edition of the Register All-State football team will be presented in Sunday's editions.
