The Big South-OVC Association announced its weekly awards on Monday and Patrick Turner of the Lindenwood football team was tabbed the Associations Specialist of the Week.

Turner was solid in Saturday's contest averaging 46.7 yards on six punts. The native of Melbourne, Australia had three of his kicks land inside the 20-yard line, including a game-long boot of 62 yards. The redshirt freshman caused a turnover in the third quarter after one of his kicks was mishandled by Charleston Southern.

On the season, Turner averages 41.9 yards per kick which is second in the Association. His season-long of 66 yards also ranks second among other Association foes.

After a bye week, the Lions will travel to Nashville, Tenn. to take on Tennessee State at 2:00 p.m.
