SUWANEE, Ga. - After coming from behind to top Austin College, 31-30, on the road Saturday in Sherman, Texas, sophomore running back \#Shane Bowser\# and junior receiver and returner \#Michael Galatas\# have been named the SCAC Offensive and Special Teams Players of the Week.
Bowser, a native of Pass Christian, Miss., had a career-best 263 all-purpose yards in the win, rushing for 90 yards on 15 carries (6.0 avg), hauling in three passes for 56 yards and a score and returning two kickoffs for 117 yards (58.5 avg). His 50-yard TD reception late in the fourth quarter brought it to a 2-point game, making way for teammate \#Taylor Russolino\# to kick the game-winner with 2:07 left.
The sophomore was also named one of two Wendy's/Millsaps Athletes of the Week.
Galatas, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound junior from Lacombe, La., averaged 40.6 yards-per-kick return on three returns and had a 92-yard return for a score (third longest in school history). Galatas also had a 64-yard punt return for a score called back on a penalty, the third time in his career that has happened. On the year, Galatas is averaging a career-best 29.6 yards-per-kick return in nine attempts.
