Colorado School of Mines' Marc Schiechl has earned Pre-Season Second Team All-NCAA Division II honors from Lindy's Magazine for the 2008 season.

A 6'3", 220-lb. sophomore defensive lineman from Lakewood, Colo. (Bear Creek H.S.), Schiechl established new individual single-season school records for tackles-for-a-loss (17.5) and sacks (13.5) as a redshirt freshman in 2007. The owner of 47 total tackles (18 solo) in 2007, Schiechl also finished third in the nation (NCAA Division II) and second in the RMAC in sacks per game (1.13) last fall. An NFF First Team All-Colorado, Second Team All-RMAC and Second Team All-Southwest Region selection last year, Schiechl was selected as the 2007 RMAC Defensive Freshman of the Year.

Schiechl, who established a new individual single-game school record with 4.0 sacks on October 6th, 2007, at N.M. Highlands University, was a member of the CSM defense that led the nation (NCAA Division II) in sacks per game (4.67) and established a new single-season school record for sacks (56).

Colorado School of Mines concluded the 2007 season with a 7-5 overall record and competed in the 2007 Dixie Rotary Bowl (one of two sanctioned NCAA Division II bowl games) on December 1st in St. George, Utah. The Orediggers went 6-2 in the RMAC last fall and secured their sixth winning season in the past seven years.

The Orediggers will begin their 2008 season with a non-conference NCAA Division II game at Washburn University on Thursday, Aug. 28th, at 7:00 p.m. (CDT) at Yager Stadium in Topeka, Kan.

Jeff Duggan is the athletic information director for the Colorado School of Mines
