Minogue Lands on D3Football.com Team of the Week
D3FOOTBALL.COM TEAM OF THE WEEK
Just one week into the football season, and the Empire 8 is already represented with a player on the D3football.com Team of the Week. Ithaca College sophomore linebacker/punter
Pat Minogue was the website's selection for one of the three linebacker position on the team.
Minogue played an integral part in Ithaca's 14-9 season-opening win over Union College at Butterfield Stadium just three days ago, especially in the fourth quarter.
On the first play of the period, Minogue forced a fumble with Union in the Bombers' territory, which was scooped up by
Jordan Schemm and returned 54 yards for the eventual game-winning touchdown.
A few minutes later, the Dutchmen drove all the way down to the Ithaca 7-yard line, but Minogue bust into the backfield to record back-to-back tackles for loss, including a sack to push Union back to the 19. The Dutchmen would attempt a 36-yard field goal, but missed to keep the score at 14-9.
On Union's final drive of the game, Minogue picked off a pass around midfield and returned it 17 yards to secure the victory for Ithaca.
Minogue would finish the game with nine total tackles (five solo), including three for a loss.
