Week 2 Stats: 2-for-2 FG (52-yard long), 2-for-4 PAT
Shelbred used his right foot to provide the heroics for Stonehill on Saturday in a thrilling 33-30 victory at Central Connecticut. A native of Ridgefield, CT, the senior delivered a program-record 52-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Skyhawks to the win and their second 1-0 start to NEC play. The field goal — which was the longest by an NEC kicker since 2016 when Wagner’s James Cooper delivered a 52-yarder against Sacred Heart on Oct. 1 — came just 63 seconds after Central Connecticut knotted up the score for the second time over the final 8:10. Shelbred racked up nine points in the game, adding a 22-yard field goal in the second quarter to give the Skyhawks a 16-7 lead. He finished 2-for-2 on field goal attempts and was 3-for-4 on PATs. This is Shelbred’s second career NEC Special Teams Player of the Week honor.
