Pawlyk was the ringleader for the Pioneers' defense as he led the team in tackles with 13 for his first G-MAC Defensive Player of the Week recognition.
What separated Pawlyk from the pack was a pair of tackles for a loss, a forced fumble and half of a sack as Malone tried to contain a high-octane offense at home.
Pawlyk recorded seven solo tackles and six assisted stops to give him 24 on the season.
He currently ranks third in the G-MAC in tackles with 25 behind only teammates Williams (31) and Ryan Weber (27).
