PAC Offensive Player of the Week

Dion Wiegand • Senior Running Back • Wash. & Jeff. College Pittsburgh, Pa. / Keystone Oaks Wiegand rushed for a career-high 172 yards and five touchdowns in Saturday’s 40-19 win at Grove City. Wiegand’s five rushing touchdowns were the most by a President running back since Ryan Mendel also finished with five against Grove City on Oct. 21, 2006. Wiegand’s 76-yard touchdown run was the longest run by a W&J running back since Joey Nichols in 2001. He totaled 241 all-purpose yards in Saturday’s win and is one of just four players in NCAA Division III averaging three touchdowns per game this season.

Onufer helped the GTs limit the Tomcats to just 3-of-17 on third-down conversion chances and 315 total yards from scrimmage in the game.

PAC Special Teams Player of the Week

Zachary Taylor • Sophomore Wide Receiver • Geneva College Salem, Ohio / United Taylor’s 69-yard punt return for a touchdown in last Saturday’s 49-28 victory over visiting Thiel broke a 28-28 deadlock and snapped the Tomcats’ 22-point scoring run.
