Thru Week Prior to: September 15, 2014

FOOTBALL
Roth Healey, Emory & Henry, Sr., Defensive Back
Healey, a senior from Easton, Pa., helped lead the Wasps to a come-from-behind 14-13 win at Maryville College (Tenn.) on Saturday. The Wasps trailed 13-0 with just over two minutes left in the third quarter when Healey put E&H's first points on the board. With the Scots driving deep in Wasps' territory, quarterback Evan Pittenger lost the ball as he was scrambling. Healey picked it up and sprinted 72-yards, beating the Maryville offense to the pilon for a touchdown. That fumble was one of four turnovers by Maryville as the Scots threw three interceptions, with one corralled by Healey in the first half. Healey tied for game-high honors with nine tackles, including six solo. He also recorded a tackle for a loss and broke up a pass in the fourth quarter. Healy has 16 tackles thru the first two games of the season.
