Lancaster named SAC Football Offensive Player of the Week
ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum College sophomore quarterback Luke Lancaster has been named the AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Football Offensive Player of the week after leading the Pioneers to an upset victory over No. 23 Wingate on Saturday.

Lancaster threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns in TC's 26-17 homecoming win over the Bulldogs. The Gaffney, South Carolina native connected on 22-of-34 attempts and highlighted his afternoon with a 76 yard scoring strike to wide-out Ken Drummond. The connection marked his fourth pass of over 70 yards this season.

Lancaster did not throw an interception in his outing and the Tusculum offensive line kept the signal caller protected all game as they did not allow a sack the entire contest. On the year, Lancaster has thrown for a conference-best 1,804 yards and 17 scores while averaging 300 passing yards per-game.

The award is his first SAC Player of the Week honor this season but was named the TSWA Player of the Week on Sept. 22 following his six-touchdown performance against Lenoir-Rhyne.

Lancaster and the rest of the Pioneers (3-3, 2-2 SAC) will be back in action this Saturday in a non-conference matchup at North Greenville University. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.
