Mietz had a day as the Saxons defeated Catholic University on Saturday during Alfred University’s Homecoming and Friends & Family Weekend, 45-15. Mietz totaled four tackles with three being solo but his biggest highlights were his two interceptions. The first was a crucial pick as the Saxons were finding it difficult to initially stop the Catholic screen passing game. Mietz broke through the two wide receivers who were tasked as lead blockers for the third receiver the Cardinals’ pass was intended for. He jumped in front of the pass and caused the first turnover of the game with a two-yard interception return. Mietz’s second interception was an 80-yard pick-six as he opened up the scoring floodgate in the third quarter, leading the Saxons to a 28-6 third quarter spread. Mietz was named a Saxon of the Week for his efforts.
