SUWANEE, Ga. - Millsaps College junior defensive back \#Kevin Peters\# and senior punter \#William Lawrimore\# have been named the SCAC Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week after turning in solid performances in a 24-6 victory over conference rival and 18th-ranked Trinity University.

The weekly award for Peters is the first of his career, while Lawrimore is a repeat selection from Week 2 of the 2008 season. As a team, Millsaps has six selections already this season -- the most of any school -- boasting the Special Teams Player of the Week three times in four weeks.

A native of Metairie, La., Peters tied a Millsaps single-game record with three interceptions, adding seven solo tackles and helping lead a defense that limited Trinity to just 186 yards of total offense and eight first downs. In three games played, he currently leads the SCAC with four interceptions on the season and ranks tied for second with five passes defended.

Lawrimore, a Tampa, Fla., product averaged 34.4 yards-per-punt in eight attempts and placed six inside the 20-yard line, including two inside the 2-yard line and one at the 8-yard line. His longest punt traveled 43 yards while four others were fair caught.

Millsaps (3-1, 2-0 SCAC) will travel to Greencastle, Ind., this weekend to face DePauw University (2-1, 1-1 SCAC) who was ranked No. 20 just two weeks ago.
