In Saturday's 27-14 CAA Football Conference victory over Elon, Lauletta completed 15 of 19 passes for 195 yards, while also scoring a touchdown on a 16-yard run. On the season, he is completing 65 percent of his passes for 1185 yards and nine touchdowns. Lauletta was named CAA Offensive Player of the Week following his performance two weeks ago against Maine, when he passed for a career-high 311 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for a score.
Ogunniyi intercepted two passes in Saturday's triumph, including one on Elon's first possession that led to Lauletta's touchdown run. Against VMI, he picked off a pass on the Keydets' first play from scrimmage and returned it 23 yards for a touchdown. He is tied with teammate David Jones for the conference lead in interceptions with three.
The Spiders will take a four-game winning streak on the road this Saturday at Rhode Island. Kickoff is set for noon.
