Deiana was chosen as the NJAC and the ECAC Div. III Southeast Special Teams Player of the Week. He averaged 44.5 yards on two kickoff returns—a 47-yarder and a 42-yarder. Deiana also scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 7-yard rush in the fourth quarter. Cortland (1-1 overall, 1-0 NJAC) travels to Morrisville State on Saturday at 7 p.m. for a league contest.
