Madison Leary, Maritime
(So., K/WR - Tavares, Fla./Tavares)
Leary kicked the Privateers second field goal of the season on Saturday in the 58-20 win over Castleton, converting on a 25-yarder. The sophomore got the crowd's attention when he nearly made a 54-yard field goal at the end of the third. The kick, which was a line drive, hit the crossbar and bounced into the air only to come down just short of going through, much to the fans displeasure. Leary also converted seven PATs. On 10 kickoffs, he averaged 55.1 yards with three touchbacks.
