MANSFIELD, MA. – Senior Suliman Pitts was rewarded for a strong all-around performance for Pace University Football against Saint Anselm College, earning Northeast 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors. The East Orange, N.J. native paced Pace University football with seven tackles, including two tackles for loss, while adding an interception in the Setters 44-3 victory.
Pitts' interception came in the third quarter with Pace already in control. He returned the takeaway 17 yards, and the Setters turned it into points immediately with a touchdown on the following play.
Pace's defense limited Saint Anselm to 169 total yards and just three points while forcing four turnovers on the afternoon. The Hawks were also held scoreless throughout the second half.
Pitts and the Setters return to action Saturday, Oct. 3, when Pace travels to Waterbury, CT, to face Post University at 1:00 p.m.
