MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Hartwick senior wide receiver Brad Garcia and The College at Brockport sophomore linebacker Alex West earned a spot on the
D3football.com Team of the Week for game played Sept. 23, 2017.
Garcia had career highs of 14 catches and 271 yards in a 24-21 win vs. St. John Fisher, the first for the Hawks over the Cardinals since 2008. He caught three touchdown passes, one for 21 yards to give the Hawks the lead with just over three minutes left.
In addition, Garcia set Hartwick program records for receptions and receiving yards. He also snapped the Empire 8 Conference record for receiving yards in a career.
West recorded eight tackles (six solo, two assisted) in the 28-14 win over the Utica College Pioneers. One of those tackles came for a loss on the Pioneer running back, as West led a defensive unit that allowed just 60 total yards on the ground. He was also key in the pass defense, intercepting a ball in the second quarter and returning it eighteen yards to the Utica 14, giving the Golden Eagles prime field position.
