University of Indianapolis senior wide receiver Reece Horn and Saint Joseph’s College junior defensive back Jessie Pourch and senior kicker Gavin Voss have garnered the first Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Week honors for the 2015 football season, it was announced by the league office Monday. 

Horn was tabbed GLVC Offensive Player of the Week, Pourch was picked Defensive Player of the Week, while Voss was named Special Teams Player of the Week.

Pourch posted three interceptions for a total of 75 yards and one touchdown in the Pumas’ 30-10 win at Edinboro (PA) on Thursday.  The South Bay, Florida, native stopped two Fighting Scot drives in SJC territory with interceptions, with the second coming right before halftime. His third interception sealed the win for the Pumas as he returned it 31 yards for a touchdown.   Pourch also made nine tackles on the night.  He earns his first career weekly honor and is the first Puma defender to be honored by the league since Joel Wimbley on Oct. 27, 2014.
