Freshman running back Justin Autera and senior defensive end Brian Wiley are named to this week's D3Football.com National Team of the Week. Wiley forced a fumble, had two sacks, two hurries, and nine tackles in a 35-6 victory over Western Connecticut Saturday. Autera returned a punt 59 yards for a touchdown and a kickoff for a 79-yard touchdown in the victory.

Autera, also named the NJAC Special Teams Player of the Week for his effort, became the first Red Dragon in 76 years to return both a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the same game.

Brian Wiley was named to the D3Football.com National Team of the Week for the second time this season. His previous honor came in a 24-14 victory over Rowan in which he registered 15 tackles.
