The senior defensive back posted a team-high ten tackles, including eight solo stops and came up with a crucial forced fumble in the third quarter at the Norwich one-yard line as the Hawks aimed to cut the Cadet lead to one score.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK Wesley Medeiros, Norwich (Jr., K - Guilford, N.H.) Medeiros was a perfect 4-for-4 on point after tries, and drilled a 40-yard field goal to push the Cadet lead to ten late in the third quarter win over Becker. Medeiros also handled the punting duties, averaging 38 yards on three punts.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK Jack Sheehan, Mount Ida (Fr, QB - St. Petersburg, Fla.) Sheehan tossed three touchdowns in an ECFC victory over Gallaudet, accumulating 184 yards through the air while completing 12 of 19 passes. Sheehan put the Mustangs on top early with a 14-yard swing pass to give Mount Ida a 6-0 lead and threw his second touchdown with just two seconds left in the first half to extend that advantage.
