Andrew Matt Named GLIAC Football "Defensive Player of the Week"


Bay City, Mich. - Wayne State junior defensive end Andrew Matt only made three tackles, but had a fumble recovery, an interception, recorded a sack and blocked a field goal in the Warriors' 24-21 win over Hillsdale.  His fumble recovery came on the opening drive of the second half with WSU leading 17-14. 

Matt blocked a 27-yard field goal attempt on the 15th play of a Hillsdale drive that went into the fourth quarter and proved to be the difference in the game. He later combined with Steve O'Shell on a sack with 2:18 remaining in the game that forced a fumble that was recovered by WSU.

Andrew is the first Warrior to receive a weekly honor from the GLIAC in 2012. Be sure to check out the "Road Warriors" in action this Thursday at 8pm at Saginaw Valley State University, the game can also be seen nationally on the CBS Sports Network (Comcast channel 734/255HD or DIRECTV channel 613).
