Plymouth State tailback Jeff Mack and PSU defensive back Zach Parsons were both selected to the New England Football Conference's weekly honor roll Monday for their performance in Saturday's 30-10 triumph against UMass-Dartmouth.
It was the third time Mack, a senior, has been named to the honor roll this season. Parsons, a sophomore, made the honor roll for the first time.
Mack, who played at Milford High School, rushed for a career-high 218 yards on 34 carries and one touchdown against UMass-Dartmouth. He scored his touchdown on a 9-yard run in the first quarter.
Mack is third among NEFC players in rushing with an average of 160 yards per game. He has run for 2,805 yards in his collegiate career, which is third in PSU history. Former Pinkerton Academy standout Russ Massahos is second with 3,276 yards.
Parsons, a safety, made a team-high seven tackles (six solo) against UMass-Dartmouth and also intercepted a pass. Parsons is one of three NEFC players with a league-high three interceptions this season. He's sixth on the team in tackles (19).
Plymouth State will play Western New England at home Saturday (1 p.m.). The Panthers will be trying to stretch their home winning streak to 10 games.
