Nick Lapponese, Fairfield

The powerful No. 8 led Fairfield to a win over Fordham.

The Panthers scrumhalf was effective in getting the Davenport attack moving and he also made some key defensive plays as his side beat IOwa Central CC.

Oli Fussell, Belmont Abbey

The center was a defensive standout and also led the attack in Belmont Abbey's victory over UNC Chapel Hill.
