Defensively, Sippio registered six tackles defended one pass and intercepted another which he ran back 22 yards to set up his first receiving touchdown. This is Sippio's second Ironman of the Week award this season. He won the honor in Week 5. The Prowlers turn their attention the to the road, when they face the Charleston Swamp Foxes this Saturday at the North Charleston Coliseum, at 7:30.
