RiverHawks Sweep Weekly LSC Honors

RICHARDSON, Texas --- Three Northeastern State football student-athletes were recognized by the Lone Star Conference today for their performances in the RiverHawks' 31-23 win at Tarleton State on Sept. 2.

Trey McVay, a wide receiver from Ft. Gibson, Okla./Fort Gibson HS, claimed the Offensive Player of the Week Award in the North Division. McVay had three catches for 89 yards and one TD. His 43-yard reception inside the Texans’ 5-yard line to open the fourth quarter set up a Kenny Davis one-yard plunge to put the RiverHawks up 24-7 with 13:39 to go.
 
The LSC North Defensive honored went to Donald Dangerfield from Hugo, OK/Hugo HS. Dangerfield had nine tackles, two for losses of 14 yards, a QB sack and one interception. The junior rover picked off a Nick Stephens pass to thwart a potential TSU scoring drive in the first half.
 
And, the North Special Teams winner was Nate Robinson, a junior defensive back from Rockingham, NC.  Robinson’s 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter essentially put the game away for Northeastern State. The Texans had reeled off nine straight points to pull to within 24-16 with 7:02 left. However, Robinson’s return reversed the momentum swing and his TD gave the RiverHawks a 31-16 margin just 16-seconds later.
