WEEK 3 STATS:
3 total tackles, 2 INT

Sanders snagged two interceptions that the Red Flash turned into 10 points during their triumphant home opener against NEC newcomer Merrimack. The sophomore defensive back also logged three tackles while the SFU defense limited Merrimack to a season-low scoring output (14 points). Sanders first pick prevented a third-down conversion and set SFU up with a first down at Merrimack’s 11-yard line early in the second quarter. He struck again in the closing stages of the third quarter, intercepting a second-down pass at the SFU 10-yard line. He made one tackle in run defense and one tackle in pass coverage with both hits stopping the opponent short of a first down.
