Week 9 MEAC Fan Choice (Play & Player)



The Mid - Eastern Athletic Conference is Proud to introduce Fan Pick Play & Player of the week!! For more information on voting please Visit MEACSports.com or Instagram/FaceBook: @Meacsports!!

NORFOLK, Virginia -- After fans cast over two thousand votes combined, the choices are in for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference's (MEAC) Fans' Play and Players of the Week. Brycen Alleyne of Delaware State was the fans' choice for Week 9's top play, icing the Hornets' win over North Carolina Central, and the fans also showed love to Delaware State linebacker Brian Cavicanteand Savannah State running back Rashad Saxton.

Alleyne, a senior running back out of Wilmington, Del., clinched the Hornets' first win of the season on Saturday. Late in the fourth quarter, North Carolina Central had scored to make it a one-possession game. But Alleyne, in a play that received over 62 percent of the fan vote, took the handoff, swept to his right, found the edge, and sped 76 yards to paydirt.

The touchdown, with 4:42 left on the clock, gave the Hornets a 28-13 lead.

Saxton was the fan's choice for Offensive Player of the Week following his 17-carry, 118-yard performance this past Saturday in Savannah State's 32-3 win over Norfolk State. The sophomore from Jacksonville, Fla. also found the endzone, capping a 10-yard drive with a 1-yard run to put the Tigers on the board.

Cavicante was also key in Delaware State's win over North Carolina Central; the sophomore from Portsmouth, Va. had nine tackles to tie the team high, 2.5 of which came for a loss and half a sack. He was a constant presence in the backfield against the Eagles, and his tackles for loss totaled seven yards.

Fans will again have a chance to make their voices heard following this weekend's contests; be sure to visit www.MEACSports.com and the conference's official Twitter page (@MEACSports) on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning for the next batch of nominees.
