ALFRED, NY - The Alfred University football team was honored with Martin Flanders Jr (Schuylerville, NY/Schuylerville) being named as a member of the D3football.com Team of the Week following the program's 31-7 win over St. Lawrence University last Saturday.

The D3football Team of the Week recognizes the top performances at each position from the previous week across Division III. Flanders was one of two defensive ends selected for the award.

Flanders delivered a dominant defensive performance in Alfred University's victory this past weekend. Flanders filled the box score, accumulating six total tackles (four solo, two assisted), 4.5 tackles for loss for 22 yards, 2.5 sacks for 13 yards, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a game-high seven quarterback hurries. In the opening quarter, Flanders executed a strip-sack and recovered his own forced fumble at the St. Lawrence 25-yard line, directly setting up an Alfred University touchdown. Later in the game, Flanders combined with teammate Micheal Davis (Canton, PA/Canton) for a key sack that pushed the Saints' offense back, ultimately forcing a missed field goal and preserving AU's decisive lead.

Flanders was additionally named as the Empire 8 Defensive Player of the Week, along with Saxon of the Week on Monday. 

Alfred University will next host St. John Fisher University on Saturday as part of Homecoming Weekend at 12:00 PM.
