By: CSFL Staff | Collegiate Sprint Football League | October 2, 2018
The third week of the CSFL season saw Chestnut Hill score its first win over Penn, Army West Point remain undefeated, Navy pull off a convincing victory and Post score its first win of the season.
WEEK 3 PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Offensive Player of the Week: Michael Marino, QB, Chestnut Hill (Blue Bell, Pa.)
Marino led Chestnut Hill to its first-ever win over Penn after throwing for 331 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Griffins’ 31-26 victory on the road last week. He completed three touchdown passes of 30 or more yards, including a 51-yard TD strike and a 63-yard TD pass.
Defensive Player of the Week: Troy Monroe, LB, Navy (Columbus, Ga.)
Monroe led a Navy defensive effort that held Mansfield to just six points in a 55-6 victory last week. He recorded four total tackles in the game, but three of those were tackles for loss and two were sacks that forced fumbles. Monroe recovered one of those fumbles that set up a Navy offensive score, while his other forced fumble was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown.
Special Teams Player of the Week: Jared Swenson, PK, Navy (Seymour, Wis.)
Swenson earns his second CSFL Player of the Week honor this season after another stellar performance in the kicking game during Navy’s win over Mansfield. He accounted for 13 total points, going 7-for-7 in PAT kicks and connecting on two field goals, including a career-long 48-yarder.
