SUWANEE, Ga. – Taylor Russolino of Millsaps College, a 6-foot, 165-pound junior kicker from Metairie, La., has been selected the SCAC Football Special Teams Player of the Week for games played Saturday, September 5.
Russolino tied his own single-game record of three field goals (32, 36, 47) in a 47-44 double-overtime loss to rival MS College, banging through a career-long 47-yard field goal (second longest in school history) as time expired to send the game into overtime.
The junior moved into second in a career in field goals made with his 18th overall, passing Matt Crosby who knocked through 16 field goals from 1989-91. Russolino needs just seven field goals to move into first all-time, already owning school records in PAT's made and attempted.
Millsaps will host cross-town rival Belhaven College this Saturday at 1 p.m.
