Suwanee, Ga. – Greg Blasiar, a 5-10, 155-pound junior defensive back from Covington, La. and Mario Warren, a 6-0, 195-pound sophomore linebacker from Columbia, Miss., have been selected as SCAC Football Defensive and Special Teams Player-of-the-Week respectively for their efforts against Rhodes on October 15th.

Blasiar, who picked up SCAC Defensive Player-of-the-Week, picked up a career high nine tackles including a tackle for loss and a huge 65 yard interception return for a touchdown to lead Millsaps to a home win over Rhodes. He was a key to the Major defense holding Rhodes to 113 yards in the second half.

Trailing 28-23 with 5:39 left in the third quarter, Warren, who picked up SCAC Special Teams Player-of-the-Week, changed the game against Rhodes when he darted through and blocked his first career punt which was picked up for a touchdown. The touchdown gave Millsaps the lead for good (30-28) on their way to a 44-36 win over the Lynx. Warren also picked up three tackles on special teams to go along with the blocked punt.

Millsaps has a bye weekend before they return to action on October 29th as they take on Centre College for Homecoming.
