UTICA, NY – Senior JJ O’Connor of the men’s football team has been named UC Men’s Athlete of the Week after an incredible game this past weekend in a 26-15 win over Buffalo State.
O’Connor, along with the rest of his team, seemed quiet throughout the first half as it was mostly a defensive battle up until that point. O’Connor had different plans, coming out early in the third quarter and receiving a 25-yard bullet from quarterback Logan Wilcox, hauling in the first touchdown of the game on a three-play, 56-yard drive.
O’Connor refused to stop there, as Wilcox connected with the tight end once more on a 30-yard touchdown pass, giving him second score of the day.
The Pioneers look to keep the ball rolling as they hit the road this to take on Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in a non-conference matchup. Kick-off is at 6:00 P.M
