Southeast Missouri State University Athletics

Southeast Missouri outside linebacker Omardrick Douglas was named OVC Defensive Player of the Week after his performance Saturday on Homecoming at Houck Field. Douglas returned an interception 32 yards for the game-winning touchdown with 5:32 left in the fourth quarter to give #24 Southeast a 17-10 victory over UT Martin. Douglas picked off John Bachus, sprinted down the near sideline and finished off his game-changing play by diving into the end zone. He also had three tackles and blocked a field goal. Douglas helped lead a SEMO defense that forced a season-high five turnovers, had three interceptions and recorded five sacks. The Redhawks also shutout the Skyhawks in the second half.
