DES MOINES - Iowa Barnstormers kicker Gabriel Rui was named the Indoor Football League's Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 14.

Rui (5'11", 190, Kansas) earned IFL Special Teams Player of the Week honors after an outstanding Week 14 performance against the Quad City Steamwheelers on the Barnstormers home turf. In the team's 80-41 victory over the Steamwheelers, Rui was solely responsible for 20 total points.
