EAST STROUDSBURG - East Stroudsburg University sophomore kicker Greg Knauss has been named the D2Football.com Special Teams Player of the Week after setting the school record, and tying the PSAC record, with five field goals on Saturday at West Chester.

Knauss (Allentown/Parkland) was 5-for-5 and did all of the scoring for the Warriors in a 30-15 loss to the Golden Rams. Knauss made four field goals in the first half (45, 34, 20, 30), with the 30-yarder coming on the final play of the half to pull ESU within 14-12 at intermission. He added a 27-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.

Two ESU kickers had made four field goals in a game prior to Saturday. Ed Detwiler, who holds the ESU and PSAC record with 50 field goals in his career, made four in a 40-13 win over California in 1992. Most recently, Matt Seagreaves connected on four field goals in a 31-14 win to open the 1994 season at Division I-AA Lafayette.

Knauss is the third player in PSAC history to make five field goals in a game, joining Matt Mapes of Lock Haven (2000 vs. Slippery Rock) and Bill May of Clarion (1977 vs. IUP).

Knauss also set the school record with a 53-yard field goal on Sept. 15 vs. IUP in the first home night game in school history. The kick came on the final play of the first half to give the Warriors a 20-17 halftime lead and broke the previous mark held by Todd McNamee, who made a 50-yard field goal vs. Southern Conn. State in 1988.

Knauss is 12-of-17 on the season and ranks second in Division II with 1.7 field goals per game. He has a shot at the school record of 15, which is shared by Seagreaves (1994) and Detwiler (1992).
