Demarre Nelson of the St. John Fisher College football team has been named the Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending on September 18, 2016.
 
Nelson was also selected as the Empire 8 Conference Football Defensive Player of the Week.
 
On Saturday, Fisher defeated No. 15 ranked SUNY Cortland 31-24 on the road in its Empire 8 Conference opener.
Nelson sealed the win for the Cardinals with his defensive efforts, making two red-zone interceptions in the final three minutes of the game.

A Cortland touchdown in the fourth shortened the Fisher lead to 31-24, and after the Cardinals went three-and-out on the next possession, Nelson made his first career interception at his own 7-yard line with 3:08 remaining to preserve the lead.

Cortland had possession in the final minute of play, but Nelson intercepted again, this time at the Fisher-17 with just seven seconds left on the clock.

The Cardinals return to action this Saturday for their mid-season bowl game, Courage Bowl XII, a game dedicated to children of Camp Good Days and Special Times, which will be hosted by the College at Brockport.
