Richmond, Va. – Elon University freshman kicker
Jack Berkowitz has been named the CAA Football Special Teams Player of the Week. Berkowitz made four field goals in Elon's 33-27 win at No. 5 Delaware Saturday.
Berkowitz's first field goal of the game put Elon ahead 3-0 early in the first quarter and he added a second one just before halftime for a 20-13 Phoenix lead. With Elon clinging to a 27-20 fourth quarter lead, Berkowitz made a 37-yarder to put the Phoenix ahead by 10. He then added a career-long 44-yard boot to make it 33-20.
