ODAC Players of the Week

Thru Week Prior to: October 28, 2013

FOOTBALL
Peter Partee, Washington and Lee, Sr., Linebacker
Partee, a senior from Richmond, Va., helped spearhead a Generals' defensive effort that forced five turnovers -- all interceptions -- in Washington and Lee's 42-13 triumph over Bridgewater. Partee made six tackles (five solo) from his linebacker spot, but his best efforts came in pass defense. Twice he intercepted Bridgewater passes in addition to breaking up a third pass attempt. The interceptions were his first two of the season, joining Guilford's Satiir Stevenson as the only two players with two interceptions in a game this season. Partee's second pick came at the outset of the fourth quarter with W&L leading 21-13. The turnover led to a touchdown, opening up the game for the Generals. Washington and Lee's five interceptions were apart of an 11-interception Saturday in the ODAC.
