BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. -- Fairmont State placekicker Sam Keil earned Mountain East Conference Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the third time in his career following his record-setting performance at Glenville State on Saturday afternoon.

Keil, a senior from Carmichael, Calif., is the Special Teams Player of the Week after providing all the scoring for Fairmont State in an 18-15 overtime win over Glenville State. He tied an NCAA Division II record with six field goals in the game hitting from 20, 46, 25, 37 and 34 yards out. With 15 made field goals so far this season, Keil is currently tied for first at FSU in a single season - and has hit three decisive field goals to win games for the Falcons this season.

Shepherd's Connor Jessop (offense) and Charleston's John Cominsky (defense) also earned week eight MEC honors after their performances over the weekend.

Jessop, a senior from Ashburn, Va., is the Offensive Player Of The Week after directing the No. 2 Shepherd Rams to a 48-14 win over Urbana. In addition to throwing for 259 yards and four touchdowns, he also rushed for 45 yards for a score and caught a TD pass from six yards out. Jessop had a role in all six SU touchdowns on the day.

Cominsky, a junior from Barberton, Ohio, is the league's Defensive Player Of The Week for helping the Golden Eagles get past UVa-Wise last week. He helped the UC defense hold the Cavs to just 52 yards rushing and 229 yards of total offense. He was in on nine tackles in the game, including four for a loss and one sack, and also batted down a pair of passes. Cominsky is second in the country in tackles for a loss this season with 16.5
