From the Gettysburg College Website:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. - Gettysburg senior wide receiver Spencer Davidson (Dumont, N.J./Dumont) and sophomore defensive end Conor Quinn (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) have been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 2 College Division team in an announcement made by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday. District 2 includes all colleges and universities in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a starter or key reserve, have completed at least one academic year at his or current institution, be a sophomore or older and have a 3.20 cumulative GPA.
Davidson, a history major with a 3.75 grade point average, has started eight of the Bullets nine games this season. He has 14 catches for 192 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He is second on the team in catches and yardage, and he is tied for second in receiving touchdowns. Davidson had touchdown catches in back-to-back games earlier in the season, hauling in a scoring pass in a 54-42 loss at Rochester and another in a 31-14 win at home over Denison. In a 27-18 win against Ursinus, Davidson caught four passes for 80 yards, both season highs. His 46-yard reception in that game was a career-long. The following week in a loss at Muhlenberg, he made a diving 30-yard catch at the Mules' three-yard line to set up a game-tying touchdown in the second quarter. Davidson is second on the team in career receptions and receiving yards by an active player. He has 63 catches for 768 yards and four touchdowns.
Quinn, an undeclared major with a 3.22 grade point average, has played in all nine games this season, starting twice. He has 20 total tackles, eight solo and 12 assisted. Quinn made his first career start against Denison on Sept. 23 and made four stops. Early in the second quarter with the Bullets up 14-7 and the Big Red driving, Quinn hit Denison sophomore quarterback Brian Herbe will he was attempting to pass. The ball came loose, and Quinn recovered it for his first career sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery. Gettysburg converted the turnover into seven points at the other end. He was named Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week following that performance, making him the only Bullet to earn that honor in 2006. Quinn had a career-high six tackles at Muhlenberg on Oct. 28, and he made four tackles and broke up a pass last week at Dickinson in his second start. He is tied for third on the team with 2.0 sacks for 19 yards in losses.
The Bullets return to action on Saturday when they close out the regular season against Franklin & Marshall at Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium. The senior day contest will kick off at 1 p.m.
