NEFC weekly honor roll

Westfield State punter Chris Stengel was selected co-defensive player of the week in the 16-team New England Football Conference.

The junior from Forest Hill, Maryland, had a sensational day in Westfield's 32-16 victory over Fitchburg, punting 10 times for a 45.5 yard average. Six of his punts were inside the 20, four traveled 50 or more yards, one was a touchback (which was nearly downed inside the 1) and two were fair catches.

In addition, Stengel kicked off five times, averaging 56.8 yards, with two of his kickoffs (72 and 73 yards in the air) going into the end zone. Finally, he made 3-of-4 PATs and a field goal.
