Week 7 Stats: 23 receiving yards, 2 receptions, 1 touchdown reception
Petras became the first player to repeat as the NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow’s Office Rookie of the Week this season. The first-year wide receiver contributed to Duquesne’s convincing 52-7 home win over Saint Francis on Saturday after he caught a 12-yard touchdown from graduate student Tyler Riddell to extend the Dukes’ first-quarter advantage to 21-0. A local product of Bethel Park, PA, Petras totaled 23 receiving yards for Duquesne, which improved to 2-0 in NEC play for the third time in as many seasons with its sixth-straight home triumph against a conference team. This season, Petras, who caught for a pair of touchdowns last weekend against Stonehill, has hauled in touchdowns in four of his six receptions. His four touchdown receptions are tied for second-most in the circuit.
