The Cherry Hill, New Jersey, native was 12-21 for 270 yards and four touchdowns, two each to senior wide receiver Brendan McCaffery and senior tight end Ben Klaus. For the season, Paolini is 21-44 for 525 yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
Inserra, of Woodbine, New Jersey, was a tackling machine against Mansfield, racking up a game-high 16 tackles, including 10 solo tackles, and half of a tackle for loss. He currently leads the team with 27 total tackles, 14 solo and 13 assisted. Alex Sobeski of Army earned the other Co-Defensive Player of the Week award.
