Nalewak Garners Weekly Conference Defensive Honors

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Junior linebacker Jonathan Nalewak (Shamokin, Pa./Shamokin) earned Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West Defensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts in Saturday’s 17-16 season-opening win over Cheyney University.

Nalewak totaled a team-high eight tackles in the defensive struggle against the Wolves, including two tackles for a loss.  The middle linebacker forced a fumble which led to a field goal attempt in the first half.  He also clinched the win with a late interception with :32 seconds left.

Nalewak and the rest of the Bald Eagles travel to defending Division I-AA National Champion James Madison University on Saturday Sept. 3, at 6 p.m.
