Creamer (pictured), who lives in Hanover, was named to the NEFC Weekly Honor Roll after he reached career highs with nine receptions for 150 yards and two touchdowns in PSU's comeback win over Endicott. His first TD was from 30 yards out in the first quarter that tied the game at 7-7.  His second TD, a leaping, one-handed grab over three defenders in the end zone, was from 32 yards out with five seconds remaining in the third quarter that started PSU's 21-point comeback.

Creamer also had two catches for 9 yard apiece in PSU's final two scoring drives in the fourth quarter.  He is the team's leading receiver this season with 20 catches for 293 yards (14.6 avg.) and five touchdowns.

The Panthers, 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the NEFC Boyd Division, will carry a five-game winning streak into Saturday's Homecoming contest against Nichols College.
