MATT CONROY | SHENANDOAH | JR | LB | BEL AIR, MD.
Conroy, a junior from Bel Air, Md., picks up his second ODAC defensive weekly award of the season after helping Shenandoah post a 42-10 win over Guilford on Saturday. Conroy may have seen his tackle numbers come in a little lower than normal with five stops (4 solo) against the Quakers, but he registered two turnovers and nearly created a third in the Hornets strong defensive effort. In the fourth quarter, Conroy intercepted a pass at the SU 45-yard line to end GC's possession after two plays. After the Quakers took the ball back themselves, Conroy intercepted yet another pass, this time turning the takeaway into a pick-six as he returned it 19-yards to paydirt for a 35-10 lead. He nearly made it three straight possessions with a turnover as Conroy forced a fumble on Guilford's next drive only to see it recovered by the Quakers at the SU 17-yard line. As it turns out, Conroy's teammate, Sean Perry, intercepted a pass in the end zone on the next play. For the season, Conroy – who also had a QB hurry against Guilford – is second in the ODAC in total tackles (65) and first in solo stops (37). He is tied for fourth in tackles for loss (6.5) and has three interceptions, which ties for second with several players in the conference.

DANTE CASCIOLA | RANDOLPH-MACON | SR | QB | CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Casciola, a senior from Charlotte, N.C., collects his first ODAC weekly honor after helping nationally 24th-ranked Randolph-Macon remain unbeaten in conference play (4-0) and improve to 7-1 overall. Casciola accounted for four touchdowns in the Yellow Jackets 49-16 win over Bridgewater. He was 10-of-16 passing for 211 yards and three touchdowns and added 25 yards and another score on six rushes. His two-yard TD run capped a 15-play 79-yard drive that covered 9:18 on the game's first possession. Casciola hit Jackson Currie with a 30-yard touchdown pass later in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead. He and Jason Moore connected in the second quarter on a 19-yard touchdown to make it 28-0. Casciola's final scoring throw went to Kwesi Clarke covering nine yards in the third quarter for a 42-10 advantage. For the season, Casciola is 71-of-112 (63.4%) passing for 887 yards and six touchdowns against two interceptions. He owns a 144.0 efficiency rating. He has run for 198 yards and five touchdowns on 55 carries.

He returned a punt 65 yards to the AU 15-yard line to set up the Tigers first second-half score for a 20-14 lead.
