WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – After becoming the first Lycoming College football player to hit three field goals in a game three times in a season, sophomore Ian Plankenhorn (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville Area) has earned his second Middle Atlantic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week award of the season, the conference office in Annville, Pa., announced on Sunday, Oct. 31.
 
Plankenhorn was 3-for-3 on both field goals and extra-point attempts in the Warriors 30-27 win over Wilkes. He connected on a 33-yard field goal with two seconds left in the first half to give Lycoming a 17-7 lead, then kicked a career-long 44-yard field goal, tied for the seventh-longest in program history, in the third quarter, and finished the game off with a 20-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
 
Plankenhorn also canned three field goals against Stevenson and Misericordia, when he earned his first MAC Special Teams Player of the Week award. He has hit two 40-yard field goals this season and his 11 field goals made this year leads the MAC and is two shy of the school record of 13 set by John Phillips (1990) and tied by Jamie Fisher (2017). He is 24-of-24 on extra points this year and his 57 points kicking is also tops in the conference.
 
The Warriors get back on the field on Saturday, Nov. 6, when they head to Widener for a 1 p.m. MAC game.
