After breaking through with his first award last year, Todd Murray of The Dominion Post in Morgantown, W.Va., became only the fourth person to claim two awards in the same year with the announcement of the winners in the 2008 NSCAA Writing Contest.

Covering the West Virginia University men’s and women’s programs, Murray took honors in the Deadline/Game Story category with “Sound of Ding Stings WVU” and in Non-Deadline/Feature with “A True Gift.” Mountaineer soccer was the focal point of three of the award-winners, as Tim Goodenow earned the award in the College Division with his “Miller Nets Game-Winner in 2OT,” written for MSNsportsNET.com.

Mike Woitalla of Soccer America received his seventh award with his entry in the Column category, “It’s Wonderful to Win, But…” Woitalla now is tied with correspondent Michael Lewis for the most awards received in the contest.
