MAC Defensive Player of the Week
Evan Kutzler (Lebanon Valley / Jr., DB / Souderton, Pa.) had a huge day on defense to lead the Dutchmen to a thrilling 27-24 double overtime victory at Widener. The junior safety had two interceptions for 36 yards, three tackles, a pass breakup, and a quarterback hurry. The free safety's first interception came with just over a minute left in the half as he picked off a pass at the Widener 35 and returned it to the 18. The Dutchmen were able to kick a field goal as the half ended to take a 10-3 lead following the interception. On Widener's first drive of the second half, Kutzler hurried the quarterback into a bad pass on fourth and eight at the LVC 25. Kutzler intercepted his second pass of the game late in the fourth quarter as he stopped a Widener drive at the LVC 11 and returned the ball 19 yards to the 30 with 2:24 left in regulation and LVC holding onto a 17-14 lead.
