Salucco Named CSFL Special Teams Player of the Week Again
Sophomore takes award after FG, four PATs vs. Post
RINDGE, N.H. (October 7, 2015) – Sophomore kicker Kyle Salucco (Exeter, N.H.) of the Franklin Pierce University sprint football team has been named Collegiate Sprint Football League Special Teams Player of the Week, as announced on Tuesday by the League office. It is the second straight week Salucco has captured the award.
Salucco had another perfect week kicking the ball for the Ravens to continue his perfect season. He opened the scoring in Franklin Pierce's 38-0, homecoming win over Post with a 36-yard field goal in the first quarter and later converted on each of the five PATs he attempted. On the season, Salucco is tied for the team lead in scoring, as he is a perfect 4-for-4 in field goal attempts and 6-for-6 on PATs.
The Ravens return to the field on Friday, Oct. 9, when they travel to Navy. Opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md.
