FRESNO, Calif. - Junior kicker Kevin Goessling was awarded WAC Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season. Goessling kicked a 52-yard field goal, his longest field goal of the season, during Fresno State's last home game of 2010 against Illinois on Friday.
Goessling, a junior from Placentia, Calif. (Servite HS), made both of his field goal attempts in Fresno State's 25-23 win over Illinois on Friday night. His 52-yard field goal in the second quarter was the longest by any WAC player this season. He also hit a 45-yarder late in the first quarter of the game. Goessling is now 5-for-7 from 50 yards or longer during his career.
The Bulldog kicker was also awarded WAC Player of the Week on Oct. 25 after the Dogs' game against San Jose State where he kicked two field goals over 40 yards.
Over the weekend at the Bulldogs' end of the season football banquet, Goessling was named Special Teams Most Valuable Player for the second straight year. Goessling has scored 100 points so far this season and is ready to add to that when the Bulldogs battle Northern Illinois in the uDrove Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho on December 18.
