Smith takes special teams honor

 
 
ATHENS, Tenn. – The University of Pikeville knocked off Union Commonwealth University on Saturday, running its win streak to five and record to 7-2.
 
On Monday, one member of the team picked up some accolades for his performance in the win.
 
Isaac Smith has been named the AAC special teams player of the week for the fourth time this season.
 
Smith is a 6-1, 175-pound sophomore from Hixson, Tenn. On Saturday, he hit all four extra-point kicks as well as a 34-yard field goal as the Bears picked up a 31-7 win to remain unbeaten in league play at 4-0.
 
On the season, Smith has made all 10 field goal tries and is also 42 of 42 on extra-point kicks. That combination gives him 72 points on the season, making him the leading scorer among kickers in the league this season by 13 points.
 
He also leads the league in made field goals, is tied for the lead in field goal tries and he is the only AAC kicker to make all his attempts.
 
The numbers are similar in PATs, where his 42 makes lead the conference, his 42 attempts are tied for the lead and he's the only kicker with enough attempts to qualify to be perfect on the season.
 
Finally, he leads the league with the longest field goal of the season thanks to a 49-yarder at Point (Ga.) on Oct. 17.
 
UPike will be back in action on Saturday, playing the final road game of the season it visits Kentucky Christian University. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
