Fifty-Yard Field Goal Puts Dunne on National Team of the Week 
Senior breaks school record by three yards
  

Pat Dunne made his first-ever attempt from 50+ yards.
LAKE FOREST, IL - Lake Forest College football player Pat Dunne (Palos Heights, IL/Marist) was named to the National Team of the Week by D3football.com Wednesday (November 6). The selection comes a day after he was chosen Midwest Conference Special Teams Player of the Week.

In Saturday's 27-6 victory over Lawrence University, Dunne made a 26-yard field goal in the second quarter and a school-record 50-yarder in the fourth. The senior captain's previous career-long was 44 yards (twice) and the school record, set in 1980 by Tom Higgins, was 47 yards.

Dunne is tied for third in the nation with 13 field goals this season, also a Lake Forest record. His other school records include field goals in a game (tied with 3) and career (29) as well as extra points in a game (8), season (31), and career (84). He is also the most accurate place kicker in the program's history, having connected on 29 of 47 (.617) attempts.

The Foresters were also represented on the National Team of the Week earlier this season. Senior linebacker Kevin Krabel (Oakland, IL/Oakland) made the team on October 1 and fellow linebacker Omar Pickering (Mount Vernon, NY/Port Chester), a sophomore, was chosen a week later.
