ST. LOUIS - North Dakota State defensive tackle Will Mostaert was named Missouri Valley Football Conference Special Teams Player of the Week by the league office Sunday, Oct. 9. It is his first conference player of the week honor.

Mostaert, a junior from Lakeville, Minn., blocked a 30-yard field goal attempt to preserve a four-point lead late in the third quarter of North Dakota State's 31-26 road win over Indiana State. He made the block three plays after NDSU muffed a punt inside its own 20-yard line.

Mostaert also had a solo sack and quarterback hurry in the game. It was NDSU's second blocked field goal of the season.

No. 1-ranked North Dakota State (5-1, 3-0 MVFC) is scheduled to face No. 2-ranked South Dakota State (5-1, 3-0 MVFC) in the annual Dakota Marker game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome.
