ST. LOUIS – The Pioneer Football League announced its weekly awards and recognized University of Dayton student-athlete Vincent Firenze for the second time this season.

Firenze was named PFL Defensive Player of the Week after his efforts this past weekend, having previously received the award on Sept. 7.

The Proctorville, Ohio native recorded a career-high 14 tackles and had a pick-six in the upset win over No. 16/19 Presbyterian Saturday. Firenze totaled seven solo tackles and seven assisted, while also intercepting a pass in the third quarter as the Blue Hose were threatening to make it a one-possession game.

Firenze ranks second on the team in tackles (58.0) and interceptions (3) this season, and leads the Flyers with six pass break ups.

Dayton has now earned seven PFL weekly honors as the Flyers are 3-1 in PFL play and 6-2 overall on the season.

UD returns to action this weekend at San Diego on Saturday, Nov. 1.
