Luciano Captures Two More Weekly Football Awards
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Senior defensive back Kyle Luciano (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Joseph-by-the-Sea) of the Gettysburg College football team added two more weekly awards to his collection following an outstanding performance in a win over Ursinus College this past Saturday.
After earning Centennial Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors on Monday, Luciano was selected to the D3football.com national Team of the Week, and he was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Southwest Defensive Player of the Week.
Luciano registered half of Gettysburg’s six takeaways in the Bullets’ 21-7 Centennial Conference victory over the Bears. He recovered a pair of fumbles that he forced, and he also made an interception. In addition, Luciano logged six tackles (four solo) and had a pass breakup.
After Gettysburg took a 14-7 lead early in the second half, Luciano single-handedly thwarted back-to-back Ursinus possessions, coming up with an interception and his second forced fumble and recovery of the game.
For the season, Luciano is the team leader in interceptions (two), forced fumbles (two), and fumble recoveries (two). He is also fifth among the Bullets with 23 tackles.
Gettysburg (3-2, 2-1 CC) returns to action on Saturday, when it visits Moravian College in another Centennial Conference game starting at 1 p.m. The game will be televised live on Service Electric TV-2.
