WILLIAMSBURG, VA - After closing the season with four straight wins and a 5-5 overall record, William and Mary was rewarded today as the Atlantic 10 announced its postseason honors, with nine Tribe players named to the all-conference squads. Tribe senior wideout Rich Musinski (West Pittston, PA) and senior cornerback Billy Parker (Mechanicsville, VA) led the Tribe by earning first-team all-conference honors. Four Tribe players were named to the second team ? senior guard Steve Stocki (Bealeton, VA), senior linebacker Paul Carpenter (Winchester, VA), senior safety Marques Bobo (Charlotte, NC) and sophomore kicker Greg Kuehn (Potomac Falls, VA). In addition, junior quarterback Lang Campbell (Winchester, VA), sophomore linebacker Travis McLaurin (Wilmington, DE) and junior punter Mike Mesi (Eatontown, NJ) were third-team selections.

Musinski will leave the College as one of the greatest players in the history of Tribe football. He finished his senior year as the conference's leader with 63 receptions for 888 yards and seven touchdowns. Musinski is one of three players in NCAA history to accumulate more than 4,000 receiving yards in regular season contests, and finished his 44-game W&M career with 223 receptions for 4,168 yards and 31 touchdowns. He is the first receiver in W&M history to lead the league in receptions per game. Musinski is the conference's all-time leader in receiving yards and is the fourth player in league history to earn first team all-conference honors three times.

Parker is a returning all-conference pick who led the Tribe in 2003 with six pass breakups and tied for the team lead with two interceptions. Parker also contributed a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, in addition to leading all Tribe cornerbacks with 45 tackles, including a pair of tackles for loss.

Stocki solidified a young offensive line that improved drastically as the 2003 season went on. The Tribe's four best rushing performances came in the season's final four games, and the passing attack accumulated more than 200 yards per game in each of the season's final seven games.

Carpenter led the team and finished third in the conference with an average of 12.3 tackles per game. He made 60 solo stops and 63 assisted tackles among his 123 credited tackles. Carpenter also had four tackles for loss, two pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in his final season. He reached double-digits in tackles in all but two games this season, including 14 tackles in Saturday's season-ending 59-17 win over Richmond.

Bobo and the Tribe secondary overcame a slow start on the season to turn it on at the end of the year. The squad improved its pass defense nearly every week in the season-ending four-game winning streak, and Bobo was a big reason why. He finished third on the team with 86 tackles, and also had an interception. Bobo's 8.6 tackles per game ranked third among all defensive backs in the league.

Kuehn earned all-league honors for the second-consecutive year after being named second team last season. The sophomore was fifth in the league in scoring this season (third among kickers) with an average of 6.9 points per game. He led all A-10 kickers with 1.3 field goals per game, making 13 of his 18 attempts (.722) on the season with a season-best of 49 yards. Kuehn also made all 30 of his PAT attempts.

Campbell excelled in his first year as the Tribe's starting signal-caller, finishing among the league's leaders in nearly every passing category. He completed 182 of 285 passes for 2,296 yards and 22 touchdowns, with just seven interceptions, for a league-best passer rating of 152.1 in the Tribe's 10-game schedule. Campbell was second in the league in passing yards per game, second in total offense and second in touchdown passes in addition to leading in pass efficiency.

McLaurin proved that he will be a force to be reckoned with in the next two years as he emerged as one of the squad's top playmakers in his sophomore campaign. Finishing second on the team and third in the league with 12.0 tackles per game,

McLaurin had at least 10 tackles in each game this season, including a career-high 14 tackles in the season opener against Division I-A Western Michigan. He also collected five TFLs, three sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble on the year.

Mesi proved his value this season as one of the A-10's top punters. With 42 punts for 1,731 yards, he finished second in the conference with an average of 41.2 yards per punt. Mesi's top punt of the year was 61 yards, and he had 14 of his 42 punts (.333) downed inside the opponent's 20-yard line.
