Ben Robinson and Garrett Biel Named SCAC Players of the Week
San Antonio - Trinity University Tigers senior
linebacker Ben Robinson and junior kicker Garrett Biel have been
selected as Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Players of the
Week.
Robinson (Coppell, Texas/Coppell) was named SCAC Defensive Player
of the Week, and Biel (Clayton, Calif./De La Salle) was chosen as
SCAC Special Teams Player of the Week.
Both players were instrumental in the 24th-ranked Tigers 62-7 SCAC
victory over Rhodes last Saturday in Memphis, Tenn. Trinity
remained undefeated at 3-0, and is now 1-0 in SCAC play.
The 5-foot-11, 193-pound Robinson registered five tackles (four
solo), and made his first interception of the season. Robinson
returned an interception 62 yards, which set up a Tiger touchdown
in the second quarter.
Robinson's interception was one of four turnovers forced by the the
Tigers (three interceptions, one fumble). His 62-yard interception
return is the second in his career of 60 or more yards. Last
season, Robinson returned an interception for 67 yards and a
touchdown against DePauw.
The 5-foot-8, 177-pound Biel chalked up 14 points in the game with
Rhodes. He booted two first-half field goals of 28 and 37 yards
(his longest of the season), and a total of eight extra points in
the game. Biel's extra points tied a Trinity single-game
record. Biel leads the Tigers with 25 total points, kicking
3-3 field goals, and 16-17 extra points.
