Ex Midd player in Super Bowl 48

Former Middlebury College student and athlete Steven Hauschka will have a prominent role during the upcoming Seattle Seahawks versus Denver Broncos Super Bowl Game. Super Bowl 48 will be played Feb. 2 in the Meadowlands, N.J. Hauschka is the current football placekicker for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. Prior to his NFL career, he played college football at Middlebury College as well as North Carolina State University. Before joining Seattle, Hauschka was a team member of the Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Las Vegas Locomotives, and Denver Broncos. Hauschka spent his youth in Needham, Mass., where he also played varsity soccer and lacrosse at Needham High School. Following high school graduation in 2003, Hauschka went to Middlebury College; he graduated with a B.A. degree in neuroscience in 2007. According to the Baltimore Sun Ravens Insider Blog, "In 2003, he was cut from the (Middlebury) men's varsity soccer team and finished the season on junior varsity. Prior to his sophomore soccer season, Hauschka was urged to try out for the football team. In his three seasons with the Panthers he was a two-time All-NESCAC selection as both a kicker and punter. He owns the school's single-season and career records for field goals. He was named a District I Academic All-American by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors Association) during his senior year. Hauschka was also a member of the Middlebury College lacrosse team." Wikipedia reports that, "In week 4 of the 2013 season, Hauschka kicked a 45-yard field goal to give the Seahawks a come-from-behind overtime victory against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium. The final score was 23-20, after trailing the Texans 20-3 in the first half. Thanks to Hauschka's game-winning kick, the Seahawks went 4-0 for the first time in franchise history."
