ECFC Weekly Honors for October 13, 2014

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Al Georgio, Norwich
(Sr, RB - West Greenwich, R.I.)
Georgio rushed for a career-high 247 yards and two touchdowns to lead Norwich to a 28-19 victory over Mount Ida. Georgio's 247 yards on 38 carries (6.5 average) were the ninth most in all of Division III this season in a single game and he nearly tripled his total yards from the previous four games this season. Georgio accounted for 80% of Norwich's 307 total yards of offense on the day. 

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Nicholas Romeo, Castleton
(So, DB - Salem, Mass.)
Nick Romeo needed just one half to make a game's worth of plays in Castleton's 65-9 victory over Anna Maria. On Anna Maria's opening possession, Romeo blocked the AMCAT punt, picked it up and returned it to the one-yard line, as Castleton scored on the next play. In the second quarter, he stepped in front of a pass and returned it 16 yards for the touchdown. He ended his impressive day later in the quarter, picking off another pass. He finished with two solo tackles, two interceptions and the block while sitting out the second half due to Castleton's large lead.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Eric Setzer, Gallaudet
(Jr, K - Middletown, Md.)
Setzer made a 22-yard field goal and was 1 for 2 on extra-point attempts as Gallaudet won 16-12 over Becker College. Setzer's 22-yard field goal came early in the fourth quarter when his three points gave GU a 10-0 lead. The junior also had eight punts for 264 yards (33 yards per punt average), a long of 49 and one punt inside the 20.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

Gabriel Barton, Norwich
(Fr, DB - Riverside, Calif.)
Barton was a standout all game long for Norwich on defense in the Cadets' 28-19 victory over Mount Ida. He recorded six total tackles, including three tackles for loss, one sack and one pass breakup.
