Some impressive performances from players all over the DII spectrum get some recognition from GRR.

Gamebreakers for the weekend of September 21.

 

Levi Van Lanen, UW Whitewater

The Warhawks have a fairly young backline but the experienced and talented Van Lanen has them working nicely together, and he sparked a 57-17 defeat of Minnesota-Duluth.

 

Benni Hund, Queens University Charlotte

A former wrestler, Hund has emerged as a hugely effective prop forward for Queens, and he scored a try in a massive win for QUC over VMI.

 

Nik Koumandarakis, Furman (pictured)

The Furman captain and center was huge defensively and also scored two tries as Furman beat rival UNC Charlotte 23-17.

 

Louis Saladino, UMass Dartmouth

The UMass Dartmouth center scored two tries in the the first half to set up his team for a 19-0 halftime lead and an eventual 24-12 defeat of Western New England in the Colonial Coast.

 

Sujai Ikemefuna, Bethel

The 6-3, 200-pound center from Jackson, Miss. scored two tries as Bethel defeated Central Michigan 46-15.

The Sacred Heart flanker scored a key early try and a key late try to help lead his team to a 43-29 victory over Hartford.
