ATLANTA, Ga. - Freshman running back and kick returner Zach Cart has been named Southern Athletic Association Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in Week Three against Point University.

"Zach has done a really good job as he actually came in as releif for Mike Barthelemy as a returner," said Head Coach Aaron Pelch. "He has established himself as a threat at that position."

Cart opened the game up with a bang as he took the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown to give the Majors an early 7-0 lead as they improved to 3-0 on the season with a 54-28 blowout of the Skyhawks. He had four returns on the afternoon for 135 yards while averaging 33.8 yards per return play to easily nab Special Teams Player of the Week.

"He's got great speed and really understands what we are trying to do in the return game," added Pelch. "We are very happy with his performance especially as a freshman so far this season."

The Majors go into a bye week before returning to action on September 29th as they open SAA play against Centre in Danville at 1 p.m. EST.
