NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Notre Dame forward/midfielder Jeb Brovsky (Lakewood, Colo./Green Mountain) has been named one of 10 finalists for the 2010 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award in the men’s soccer division. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – classroom, character, community and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
The finalists were chosen by a media committee from the list of 30 men’s candidates and 30 women’s candidates that were announced in August. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to determine the winner. Fans are encouraged to vote via the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award website through November 14. Fan votes will be combined with media and coaches votes to determine the winner. Lowe’s, an official Corporate Partner of the NCAA, will announce the Senior CLASS Award® winners during the 2010 NCAA Men’s and Women’s College Cup championships in early December.
Notre Dame’s Lauren Fowlkes, a defender, is one of 10 finalists in the women’s soccer division. Notre Dame and Stanford are the only two schools with finalists in both the men’s and women’s soccer divisions.
“The finalists for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award in men’s and women’s soccer are in the midst of great final seasons,” said Tom Lamb, Lowe’s senior vice president of marketing. “They are committed to finishing their collegiate careers in a strong way both on the field and in the classroom, and we are excited for their successes as they wrap up outstanding seasons.”

Brovsky has started all nine games this season and has tallied three points on one goal and one assist. He put the Irish on the board in the 12th minute in last Sunday’s 2-1 win over Providence, which moved Notre Dame to 2-0 in BIG EAST play and atop the Blue Division standings. The Irish, who are ranked 22nd in the latest Soccer America poll, are 4-2-3 overall this season.
Last season, Brovsky registered four goals and four assists en route to earning third-team all-BIG EAST honors for the second straight season. In 2008 and 2009, he was selected to the BIG EAST All-Championship Team. Brovsky, a three-time monogram recipient, has appeared in 76 games, including 49 starts, and has notched 36 points on 12 goals and 12 assists.
Brovsky carries a 3.442 cumulative grade-point average as a management major in Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, which is routinely ranked as one of the top business schools in the country. He also is a three-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star.
Brovsky, along with the rest of the Notre Dame men’s soccer team, is heavily involved in community activities. He has worked with the Salvation Army in South Bend in addition to volunteering at the South Bend soup kitchen and has collected donations for the South Bend Catholic Social Worker House. Brovsky also has volunteered for Notre Dame’s Holy Half Marathon, which gives its proceeds to support victims of Hurricane Katrina and others in similar need.
