Henrique Ribeiro was named the Southern Conference’s Special Teams Player of the Week, announced Monday by the league offices.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga junior kicker made a 36-yard field goal, while his four extra points in the Mocs’ 31-3 win over Furman gave him 62 consecutive, which ranks as the seventh-longest streak in league history.
He also had two punts for a 55.0-yard average, both of which were downed inside the Furman 20.
Derrick Craine, who had 138 yards rushing and three touchdowns, was a nominee for Offensive Player of the Week, while Lucas Webb had four tackles and a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown and was a nominee for Defensive Player of the Week.
