G-MAC Defensive Player of the Week

#41 Justin Joyce
Alderson Broaddus University
Linebacker
Senior
Walkersville, MD

The Battlers were stingy once again on the defensive side of the ball, this time against Saint Joseph's (IN) in their latest effort.

With points coming at a premium in a game that was scoreless well into the third quarter, Joyce was part of a linebacking corp that consistently made big plays.

Joyce recorded six tackles against the Pumas, including five solo, and forced a turnover with his first interception. He halted a Saint Joseph's drive deep into AB territory, picking off quarterback Phillip Kimble on the Pumas' third possession of the game.

On the season, Joyce has nine tackles in two games.
