POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – Fifth-year senior kicker Luke Paladino of the Marist football team was named Pioneer Football League Special Teams Player of the Week on Sunday.
 
Paladino scored 12 points in Marist's 37-7 win over Presbyterian on Saturday. He was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, and 3-for-3 on extra point tries. His field goals came from 22, 32, and 48 yards out. The 48-yard field goal was his longest of the season and tied for the third longest in program history. It was Paladino's sixth career field goal of at least 45 yards.
 
On the season, Paladino is 10-for-11 on field goal attempts and 17-for-17 on extra point tries.
