THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Cal Lutheran football's
Dylan Armendariz has been named SCIAC Special Teams Athlete of the Week after delivering two key field goals in the Kingsmen's 33-14 road victory over La Verne on Saturday afternoon at Ortmayer Stadium.
Armendariz played a pivotal role in the Kingsmen's scoring effort, connecting on a 42-yard field goal early in the second quarter to extend Cal Lutheran's lead to 10-0. After La Verne rallied to take advantage of a late first-half momentum swing, Armendariz came through again to open the second half, drilling a 43-yard field goal to push the Kingsmen's lead to 19-14 and get Cal Lutheran back on track.
The special teams standout finished 2-for-3 on field goal attempts and also controlled the kickoff game, recording 410 yards on seven kickoffs.
Armendariz's contributions helped the Kingsmen regain momentum after halftime as Cal Lutheran shut out the Leopards over the final 30 minutes and scored 17 unanswered points to secure the 33-14 victory.
This marks the first weekly honor of Armendariz's career and the second for Cal Lutheran football this season.
The Kingsmen are back on the road this Saturday, October 31, traveling to Whittier for a Halloween matchup with the Poets. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.
