PSAC Release
 
KUTZTOWN, Pa. – There were a couple of firsts for redshirt-junior Antaun Lloyd (Ambler, Pa./Wissahickon) last Saturday. The defensive back came away with his first interception in Maroon and Gold and also returned a blocked field goal attempt 87 yards for his first career touchdown. His standout play in a 37-29 victory over No. 10 Shepherd University last Saturday earned him his first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East Division Defensive Athlete of the Week recognition.
 
Lloyd gives the Golden Bears (3-1 overall, 1-0 PSAC East) their first weekly award of the season.
 
In a monumental and historic win for Kutztown, Lloyd was a key cog in a defensive unit that controlled a high-powered Rams (3-1, 0-1) offense, which entered the game leading the PSAC in scoring at 42.7 points per game and leading Division II with 509.0 yards per game. The win marked KU's first-ever regular season triumph over a top 10 nationally-ranked team. It was the second straight season that Kutztown went to West Virginia and took down Shepherd on its home turf.
 
Early in the second quarter with KU leading 10-7, Shepherd lined up for a 22-yard, game-tying field goal. But senior Nick Palmer (Montville, N.J./Bergen Catholic) blocked the kick and Lloyd scooped it up and took it back 87 yards to the house to increase the Golden Bear lead to 17-7.
 
Lloyd then intercepted three-time PSAC East Offensive Athlete of the Week, Tyson Bagent, on the first play of the fourth quarter to end a promising Rams drive.
