He averaged 5.5 yards per carry and recorded his fourth contest with over 100 yards this season. The sophomore tied a school record with four rushing touchdowns in the 38-20 win over the Blue Raiders. Singletary was named C-USA Co-Offensive Player of the Week

In FAU's match against Charlotte on Saturday, she was even better with 19 kills and 16 digs for her second straight double-double. The performance earned Nemtuda the C-USA Freshman of the Week award.
