Reives averaged 42.7 yards per punt on three boots to lead Rose-Hulman's special teams play in a 24-17 win at Franklin.

Reives tallied a long punt of 47 yards and had two of his three kicks end inside the Earlham 20-yard line.

He previously earned second-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American honors in track and field last spring, after winning a pair of league titles during his career.

Trowbridge stands fourth on Rose-Hulman's career scoring list with 27 goals, after his three-goal effort this weekend.  He previously earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American honors in men's soccer last fall.
