ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Blaine King and Chris Harris have been named this year's recipients of the Pat Hogan Memorial Scholarship. Both were honored prior to the Tritons men's soccer Sunday matinee match against Quincy University. 

Hogan played at UMSL from 1973-76 and was a member of the 1973 NCAA Division II National Championship team, which finished with an 11-0-3 record. During his four-year career, UMSL produced a 34-17-9 record and competed in four NCAA Tournaments. As a senior on the 1976 team, he earned all-region honors after helping the team to a 9-8-1 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament semifinals.
 
After being inducted into the 2010 UMSL Sports Hall of Fame, Hogan talked about his desire to create a scholarship opportunity for a player like himself – a student with the love and passion for soccer and the desire to play at the college level. Hogan lost a courageous battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, in March 2010. In his honor, an endowed scholarship was created.
 
Julie Hogan, wife of the late Pat Hogan and their children, along with Pat's brother and sister, presented $1,500 scholarships to King and Harris.
