A night full of records helped senior Craig Needhammer earn his fifth career Warrior of the Week award. He posted a school-record 299 rushing yards to lead the Lycoming College football team to a 45-27 win over FDU-Florham on Friday, Nov. 14, and earn himself his fourth career Middle Atlantic Conference Offensive Player of the Week award. Needhammer's 299 yards helped him level a bevy of records in his final collegiate game, smashing the school's career record for rushing yards with his last run, a 50-yard touchdown with 2:47 left to seal the win over the Devils. Needhammer smashed the school record for rushing yards in a game of 253 set by Tim Deasey in 2001, doing it on 30 carries. He also broke Josh Kleinfelter's record of 3,664 career rushing yards, finishing with 3,713 yards in his career with that rush. In the end, Needhammer finished his career with a school-record 42 touchdowns, 39 rushing touchdowns and 5,291 all-purpose yards. He set single-season records for rushing touchdowns (13), all-purpose yards (1,867) and kick return yards (482). He also set the single-game all-purpose yardage record of 339 yards.
