Players of the Week: Following the team's 59-13 win last Saturday, the Privateers had three players earn ECFC Player of the Week honors. Junior Thomas Wright (Wantagh, N.Y./Wantagh) was named Offensive Player of the Week, senior linebacker Kendal Parker (Evans, Ga./Lakeside) nabbed Defensive Player of the Week accolades, and senior Matthew Murphy (Seaford, N.Y./Seaford) was selected as the Special Teams Player of the Week.
 
Century Club: Junior wide receiver Brandonn Drumgole (Mt. Sinai, N.Y./Mt. Sinai) became just the fourth player in program history to record 100 receiving yards in a game as he had 101 yards through the air a week ago.
 
The Price is Wright: Wright became just the second quarterback to throw for three touchdowns in one game, as he found senior Matt Ward (Ronkonkoma, N.Y./Sachem North) once and Drumgole on two occasions.
 
Coming Up 7s: Murphy was 7-for-7 on his extra point attempts, which is tied for second on the all-time list.
 
Lucky 13: In games where the Maritime defense holds opponents to 13 or fewer points, the Privateers hold a 20-3 in such games since the start of the 2008 season.
