UNLV football, hoops volleyball players cited
Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2002 | 9:46 a.m.
UNLV running back Larry Croom and placekicker Dillon Pieffer both were honored by the Mountain West Conference for their play in the Rebels' season-ending 36-33 upset of Colorado State Saturday in Fort Collins.
The 5-foot-10, 205-pound Croom, a junior transfer from the University of Arizona, was named MWC Co-Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 222 yards on 20 carries and one touchdown against the Rams, the eighth-best single game rushing total in school history.
Pieffer earned his first MWC Special Teams Player of the Week award after scoring six points and tying a 14-year-old school record. The 5-foot-11 junior connected on his only field goal attempt (23 yards) and hit his first three PAT tries to run his streak to 45 consecutive conversions, tying the UNLV record set by Jim Cook in 1986-88. That streak came to an end, however, when his final attempt of the season was blocked.
