Junior linebacker Nick Fanelli (Crown Point, IN/Lake Central) has been named the NCAC Defensive Player of the Week after making six tackles, forcing a fumble, and coming up with an interception in the Little Giants' 44-7 victory over Earlham College on Saturday. Fanelli had two solo and four assisted tackles as part of a Wabash defensive effort that held the Quakers to minus 10 yards of total offense in the second quarter.
Last week junior running back Chris Morris (Zionsville, IN/Zionsville) earned the Offensive Player of the Week award.
