Horstmeier named special teams student-athlete of the week


Athletics - posted on 11/17/2009

Lakeland kicker Nic Horstmeier (Random Lake) has been named the Northern Athletics Conference Student-Athlete of the Week from Monday, Nov.9 to Sunday, Nov. 15.

He averaged 41.2 yards per punt on four punts Saturday afternoon in Lakeland's 28-0 shutout over Maranatha. He boomed a 52 yard punt into the end zone after the Muskies' first possession of the game, the longest kick of his career.

"Nic did a really nice job this past week," Lakeland head coach Kevin Doherty said. "A lot of people don't realize what it means to have a great punting game. He helped give us field position for our defense to work with and we're really happy with how he's performed this season."

Lakeland heads to UW-Whitewater on Saturday, Nov. 21 for a noon kickoff to open the first round of the NCAA Div. III playoffs.
