ST. PAUL, Minn. - Martin Luther's Nathan Schmidt and Minnesota Morris' JT Garza III have been named to the D3football.com Team of the Week after outstanding performances last Saturday.
Schmidt had three tackles for loss, two sacks and three quarterback hurries to go with a forced fumble and fumble recovery in a 35-34 win against Northwestern, keeping the Eagles from clinching an automatic bid to the playoffs.
Garza helped led the Cougar defense to a 28-14 win against Crown. He recorded two interceptions, the first of which stopped the Polars from driving at the end the first half and the other set up the Cougars for a touchdown at the Crown 24-yard line. Garza also tallied four tackles and a pass breakup.
