Defensive Player of the Week
Ben Malarkey / SR / Penn College / Malvern, Pa. / West Chester East

Malarkey was a big part of the Wildcat defense that helped the team post back-to-back victories over SUNY Brockport and Cairn on Friday and Saturday. Malarkey combined to cause four turnovers and scoop seven ground balls across both games. In Friday's 19-11 victory against the Golden Eagles, Malarkey caused one turnover and scooped up three ground balls. On Saturday against the Highlanders, the senior defender posted season-highs with four ground balls and three caused turnovers on Senior Day.

This is Malarkey's first career United East Weekly Accolade.
