Falgoust, who was named the Co-Offensive Player of the Week in the American Southwest Conference earlier this week, has been named to the D3football.com Team of the Week.

Falgoust had 11 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown.
He caught LC’s first touchdown of the game, but his biggest contributions came on LC’s last drive of the game. Falgoust caught a 19-yard pass on fourth-and-10 to keep the drive alive, and two plays later, Falgoust made an acrobatic 21-yard catch as he was going out of bounds to put LC at first and goal on the McMurry 9-yard line in a 38-35 win.
