Senior place kicker
Corey Lichtman of Utica University was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week on Tuesday, Sept. 20. This marks the third straight week an Empire 8 student-athlete has earned the weekly accolade.
Lichtman was the difference maker in the Pioneers 23-21 win over Western New England on Saturday. He was three-for-three on his field goal attempts of 42, 26, and 50 yards. The 50-yard field goal ties the school record held by Denis Avdic, which was set in 2009. Lichtman has now kicked the longest field goal in the Empire 8 Conference so far this season. He also converted on both point-after touchdown attempts of the afternoon.
