Liberty Mutual Athletes of the Month
South Portland, ME- The SMCC Athletic Department has partnered with Liberty Mutual. This partnership has allowed for a new initiative. Liberty Mutual and the Athletic Department will be selecting a male and female Athlete of the Month for each month during the school year.
The Liberty Mutual Student- Athletes of the Month are selected on the basis of the all-around student-athlete. The characteristics of the student- athlete must exemplify not only athletic prowess, but effort and excellence in the classroom. The candidate is not solely judged on points scored, but rather on their contribution to the team’s effort, leadership, integrity, dedication to team, campus involvement, and the ability to serve as the role model for current and future SMCC student- athletes.
The SMCC Athletic Department and Liberty Mutual have teamed up and selected Chelsea Sloat (Hodgdon, ME) and Jose Nouchanthavong (Westbrook, ME) as the January Athletes of the Month. Both Chelsea and Jose exemplify the qualities of this great honor both on and off the field.
Chelsea Sloat is a freshman guard for the Seawolves women’s basketball team. As a freshman, Chelsea has come on strong as the season has progressed to become a key contributor for the Seawolves. Chelsea is averaging 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game as the Seawolves 6th man. The team will look for her to continue her excellent play as the YSCC finals approach.
Chelsea is a freshman majoring in General Studies/Pre-Radiography.
Jose Nouchanthavong is a freshman point guard for the SMCC men’s basketball team. Jose has been a solid starter for the Seawolves this season. His quickness and athleticism are great assets for this year’s squad. As a freshman, Jose is averaging 5.8 points per game while handing out 4.3 assists and grabbing 4.1 rebounds per game for the Seawolves.
Jose is a freshman majoring in Sport Management.
Our sincere congratulations go out to these two outstanding Liberty Mutual Student-Athletes of the Month.
