Stanton named Special Teams Player of the Week

Release Date: September 24, 2001

Senior defensive back Scott Stanton (Monmouth, Ill./HS) has been named co-Midwest Conference Special Teams Player of the Week along with Carroll College’s Brad Guettel.

Stanton was not only the Scots' most valuable special teams player Oct. 27, but he may have been the game MVP as well, as he blocked two punts, scooping up the second himself and taking it 26 yards for the TD that proved to be the turning point in the Scots’ 35-21 victory over Lawrence. Monmouth led 14-7 in the third quarter when Stanton recorded the key block and TD. He also had an interception in the game, broke up two passes and made six tackles.

The victory gives the Scots a 5-2 mark through the first seven games.
