Wiehberg Honored For Contribution In Win

Wiehberg Receives MEAC Honors

Dennis Wiehberg has been named the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for his contributions in Howard University's game this past week against Winston-Salem State University.

            A 5-10, 190-pound sophomore from Berlin, Germany, Wiehberg (pronounced Vee Berg) averaged 38 yards per punt, knocking two inside the Rams' 10-yard line. Normally a placekicker, Wiehberg was pressed into action as a punter due to injuries.

            But his biggest contribution came on offense where he kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime to give the Bison a hard-fought, 24-21 victory, their first of the season. Wiehberg also converted on all three of his PATs and is a perfect 9-for-9 on the season.
