Dillon Schobourgh have earned weekly honors from the Pioneer Football League for their roles in the Eagles' 23-21 win over Marist Saturday.

Schwartz, from Treynor, Iowa, earned his second career PFL award, and its the 29th all-time Special Teams Player of the Week for the program.

Schobourgh, from Toronto, Ontario, disrupted Marist's offensive plans to the tune of three sacks (a team single-game high this year). He also totaled a team-best 11 tackles. He had a sack for minus-10 yards when Marist went for it on 4th and three. Schobourgh was the Eagles' leading returning tackler this season.
MSU travels to Valparaiso Saturday for a 1 p.m. ET game.
