Sean Baker Wins MAC Football Weekly Award
September 26, 2011 | Football
Sean Baker, a senior member of the Ball State football team, has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Defensive Player of the Week.
Baker helped the Cardinals to a 48-21 home win over Army to improve to 3-1 overall. Ball State will travel to Oklahoma Saturday to face the nation's top ranked Sooners at 7 p.m. (ET).
Baker managed eight tackles, one tackle for loss, one sack and one interception in Ball State's victory over Army. Baker, who is already Ball State's career interceptions leader, tallied the 17th of his career vs. the Black Knights. He was a part of a Ball State defense that tied an NCAA single game record by not allowing Army to complete a pass in the game.
This marks the third time in his career Baker has won the weekly award. He won it once as a freshman in 2008 and once last season.
