Frosh Russolino Named to D3football.com Team of the Week
Metairie native ties single-game school record with three field goals

October 9, 2007

STERLING, Va. -- After tying a single-game school record set by Kevin Callison against Lambuth in 1985 with three field goals against Centre College last weekend, freshman kicker Taylor Russolino from Metairie, La., finds his name on this week's D3football.com National Team of the Week -- the second Millsaps selection of the year.

Russolino's kicks of 34, 35 and a career-high 38 -- all in the first half -- gave the Majors a 9-7 halftime edge in which they went on to win 29-7 with a 20-point fourth quarter. It was Millsaps' 10th-straight conference win.

The Majors were just 1 of 8 on field goals entering the game before Russolino made all three of his attempts. He was also a perfect 2 for 2 on point after attempts and averaged 57.6 yards per kickoff in seven chances, including a season-long 65 yard kickoff (twice).

For the season, Russolino is 3 of 4 on field goals, 6 of 8 on PATs and is averaging 56.5 yards per kickoff.
