Here are some great plays which deserved extra mention:

Pierre Noel has had some great catches for Norwich already this year. Here's another one, a 29-yard catch to set up a touchdown as Norwich went on to beat SUNY-Maritime 30-22. |
After King's scores to take the lead with less than a minute left, Lycoming is driving with a chance to win the game. After a long pass, Anthony Martuccio strips the ball from the wide receiver and King's recovers the fumble to seal the 30-26 win. |
Freshman Robbie Hillier II returned Elmhurst's attempt at a 34-yard field goal in the third quarter 76 yards for a score after teammate David Simmons Jr. came up with the block. The play keyed a second half surge in a 24-14 win. |
