Posted Oct 03, 2023 8:15 PM

Kansas Wesleyan's Ricco Moore has been selected as the KCAC Football Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in KWU's 10-7 win over McPherson on Saturday.

Moore was again fantastic for the Coyote defense that was key in KWU's 10-7 win over McPherson. Moore had 11 tackles in the game, leading the team, and also forced a fumble, and had three pass break-ups.

Moore's effort led the defensive effort for KWU that held McPherson to 36 points below their season scoring average, and 160 rushing yards below their season average. McPherson was held to 24 yards rushing in the game, and Moore's efforts were an integral part of that.

The Coyotes, along with the rest of the KCAC are idle this week in preparation for the start of divisional play next week.

Wesleyan opens division play in the Bissell Division on October 14, hosting Avila at 1 p.m. on Gene Bissell Field at JRI Hospitality Stadium at the Graves Family Sports Complex.
