CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – After a timely fumble recovery late against Southern Illinois on Saturday, Northern Iowa's Suni Lane has been named the Missouri Valley Football Conference Newcomer of the Week, the league announced on Sunday.
The true freshman made four solo tackles and assisted on three to total seven against the Salukis. The last UNI player to win the award was Aaron Bailey, who was named the MVFC Co-Newcomer of the Week on Nov. 15, 2015.
