MOUNT BERRY, Ga. - After spearheading a defense that allowed less than 100 yards rushing to the No. 4 team in the country, Brock Skinner has earned Southern Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Week honors for the second time this season.

Skinner led the Vikings with nine tackles against Wisconsin-Whitewater. Skinner also added a fumble recovery and a pass breakup as the Vikings held the Warhawks to just three points in the second half.

It's the second weekly award for the Hoschton, Ga., native this season. Skinner also picked up the award after Berry's 31-24 win at Maryville in week one in which he had 10 tackles and three sacks.

The Vikings will be back in action Oct. 1 at Birmingham-Southern as Berry opens SAA play.
