Record-Breaking Weekend Secures Price Athlete of the Week Honors

Senior quarterback Alex Price of Reading, Michigan, a member of the Trine University football team, was named the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Offensive Athlete of the Week on Sept. 18 after a record-breaking performance during a 58-43 victory over visiting Franklin College.

It was the first time this season that a member of the team was selected for athlete of the week honors. It was the third time in Price's career that he earned the award.

Price led an explosive offensive attack in the contest amassing 439 yards in the air with seven touchdowns. Both of those marks set new single-game records for the program. Price went 21-for-30 in the game for a 70% completion percentage and did not throw an interception.

He saved two of his touchdowns passes for the crucial fourth quarter of the contest. The game entered that final quarter tied at 37, but Price capped the team's first two drives in the period with his final two touchdowns of the day putting the team up 51-37 and allowing them to run out the rest of the clock on the way to the victory.
