DUSTMAN REPEATS AS MVFC AWARD WINNER

ST. LOUIS — For the second Monday in a row, South Dakota State kicker/punter Hunter Dustman has been honored as the Missouri Valley Football Conference Special Teams Player of the Week.

A junior from East Bethel, Minnesota, Dustman connected on a career-best four field goals in the top-ranked Jackrabbits' 33-16 home victory over No. 10/11 North Dakota State on Nov. 4. He was successful from 31, 21, 44 and 26 yards as he improved to 11-of-14 on field goal attempts for the season. His four field goals were the most by an SDSU kicker in a game since 2015 and also upped his career total to 30 in passing Adam Vinatieri (27 field goals from 1991-94) for seventh place in program history.

Dustman also punted twice in the contest, landing both of his attempts inside the NDSU 20-yard line for an average of 43 yards with a long of 53.

South Dakota State, 9-0 overall and 6-0 in league play, travels to Youngstown State for an MVFC matchup on Nov. 11. A win by the Jackrabbits would clinch at least a share of the conference title for the second year in a row. Kickoff is set for noon Eastern (11 a.m. Central) at Stambaugh Stadium in Youngstown, Ohio.
