Texas A&M University-Commerce senior linebacker Cory Whitfield (Palestine,
Texas) was named Lone Star Conference North Division Defensive Player of the
Week for his efforts in the Lions' 20-14 heartbreaking loss to No. 2 Abilene
Christian, this past Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
Whitfield led the team with 13 tackles and picked off a pass and returned it
37 yards to tie the score at 7 against No. 2 Abilene Christian. The last
A&M-Commerce interception for a touchdown came when Tay Witherspoon
intercepted an East Central pass on Sept. 20, 2003. It is his third-straight
game with double-digit tackles and the last A&M-Commerce player to record
double digit tackles since Andrew Gamboa started last year with
three-straight games.
Whitfield and A&M-Commerce will next take on Eastern New Mexico on Saturday
in Portales, N.M. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 pm (CST) and can be heard live
on KETR (88.9 FM/www.ketr.org).
