 Defensive Player of the Week:

-Chase Walters (Con.-Egan – Jr. – DT): Walters was a fixture in the Saints’ backfield  throughout, as the Eagles blanked N-G, 14-0. Walters notched a pair of solo sacks, shared two other sacks, and added two additional TFLs for good measure. All totaled, these plays accumulated 23 yards in losses.

Special Teams Player of the Week:

-James Dolan (LaSalle – Sr. – DB/WR): Dolan made a statement early for LaSalle when he snuffed out a punt on Bonner-Prendie’s first possession. LaSalle scored the game’s first touchdown a short time later and never looked back. Defensively, Dolan contributed with 3 tackles and 2 pass defends.

Multi-Purpose Player of the Week:

-Will Felder (Roman – Sr. – WR/DB): Despite only being used sparingly in Roman’s, 54-24, throttling of Judge, the talented and often dynamic Felder made two huge plays in the game.
