Slingerlands native Noah Poskanzer named Defensive Player of the Week

On Nov. 10, The Empire 8 named Noah Poskanzer, a safety for the Ithaca College football team, Defensive Player of the Week.

Noah Poskanzer, of Slingerlands, was named Empire 8 Defensive Player of the Week and Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III Northwest Defensive Player of the Week. He was also named to the D3football.com Team of the Week.

Poskanzer factored on three of the five turnovers that Ithaca's defense forced in its 19-to-8 win at St. John Fisher. He had two interceptions and also forced a fumble to go along with five total tackles. Fisher turned the ball over just nine times in its first eight games, before Ithaca forced five in the game on Nov. 8.
