Ian MacDonald, Football Player of the Week (Defense)

Defense – Ian MacDonald, Linebacker (Dordt University)
Linebacker Ian MacDonald of Dakota Wesleyan University is this week’s GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Defensive Player-of-the-Week. MacDonald, a junior, from Edmond, Oklahoma, had a pair of interceptions on the afternoon. His first interception came near the end of the first half in the end zone when Concordia was trying to tie the game. His return helped set up a field goal at the half to extend the lead to 10-0. He was instrumental in limiting Concordia's running game to 6 yards, with 10 total tackles. MacDonald intercepted his second pass and returned it inside the five-yard line to set up Dordt's final score. The Defenders have a bye week and will next be in action on September 30.
