Week 5 Review
By: CSFL Staff | Collegiate Sprint Football League | October 18, 2016
Week five of the CSFL season saw Army West Point and Navy run away with shutout wins and Franklin Pierce come away with a narrow victory on the road at Mansfield in the only close game of the week. First place Penn was on a bye, as was Cornell.
WEEK 5 PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Offensive Player of the Week: Brandon Clements, RB, Navy (Miami, Fla.)
Clements has been the leading rusher in the CSFL all year, so it's only fitting he is finally being recognized. In Navy's dominant 43-0 win over Chestnut Hill last week, he rushed for 149 yards and three touchdowns in one half before taking a seat in the second half. The 149-yard effort is the most for any player in a single-game in the CSFL this season. Clements now has three 100-yard games this year.
Defensive Player of the Week: John Capwell, LB, Mansfield (Apalachin, N.Y.)
Capwell earns his second Athlete of the Week honor of the season after leading the Mansfield defense in a 19-13 loss to Franklin Pierce. He recorded a league-high 14 total tackles, including an impressive 13 solo stops. Capwell also had 2.0 tackles for loss and recorded an interception in the game.
Special Teams Player of the Week: Angelo Matz, DL, Army West Point (Port Jervis, N.Y.)
Matz was one bright spot in Army's dominant 64-0 victory over Post last weekend. In the game, Matz blocked two punts to highlight his special teams prowess. He also had seven total tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks to lead the defense.
