Sophomore Dalton Taylor was named the Heart of America Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday.
Taylor played a key role for Evangel on Saturday, blocking two field goals in the win. The first came early in the second quarter as the defensive back also recovered the blocked kick and raced 85 yards for a touchdown.
The Strafford native blocked his second field goal with two minutes left in the game helping preserve a 30-28 win for the Crusaders. He also led Evangel with 12 tackles, a pass breakup and 0.5 tackles for a loss.
Evangel returns to action Saturday at 9th-ranked Missouri Valley. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in Marshall, Mo.
