Parker made two huge interceptions that translated into 14 points during Saint Francis’ (PA) 35-30 road win over Sacred Heart. The rookie linebacker also made seven tackles (four solo) to help the Red Flash break into the win column. With SFPA leading 28-10 early on in the fourth quarter, Parker picked off his second pass of the day and took it 61 yards for a touchdown that turned out to be the game-winning score. Parker’s first interception came with the game scoreless in the first quarter. The turnover gave SFPA the ball at the Sacred Heart 27-yard line and set the stage for a 10-yard George Little TD pass.
