Over the final three games of the month, he notched 32 tackles, including a career-best 13 stops at Glenville State (Oct. 18). He capped the month by being named Mountain East Conference Defensive Player of the Week in helping lead CU to a 31-21 win over West Virginia Wesleyan (Oct. 25). In the WVWC contest, Scott had eight tackles with 4.5 being for loss and a 1.5 sacks. Scott enters the final week of the season ranked top five in the MEC in tackles (87), tackles for loss (11.0) and pass break-ups (10).
Wall earns Concord Female Athlete of the Month after her spectacular October that saw her pick up two awards from the MEC. The Pearisburg, Virginia native was named to the All-MEC First Team at the conclusion of the MEC Championship October 25. She finished ninth, and was also voted as the MEC Freshman of the Year. She ran 23:41 for the 6,000-meter course at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia. Two weeks early, Wall won the Concord Alumni Invite as she clocked 19:12 for the 5,000-meter terrain at Pipestem State Park. It was the fastest 5,000-meter time for any CU female cross country athlete in program history.
In the coming days, Scott and Wall will be honored for their achievement with a free lunch courtesy of Chick-Fil-A Princeton.
