Nathan Napier delivered a career performance in WPI’s 36-12 NEWMAC victory over Maritime, connecting on all four field-goal attempts from 20, 53, 55 and 44 yards. He established a new WPI career long with a 53-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, then broke his own record with a 55-yarder in the fourth quarter. Napier added a pair of PATs to account for 14 points and dropped a punt inside the Maritime 20 in the win. The sophomore, who drilled a walk-off 50-yard field goal in Week 2 to defeat the University of New England, is 12-for-13 on the season as the Engineers improve to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in NEWMAC play. He was also named as the NEFW Gold Helmet Recipient this week and picks up his second NEWMAC weekly honor of the year.
