Mercurio striving for perfection at Villanova

Transferring to Villanova to pursue his masters degree, Matt Mercurio is off to his best start in his career as a kicker on the football team. The 6-foot-1 graduate student has nailed all three of his field goal attempts, including one from 40 yards out, and is a perfect 18-18 in extra points for the Wildcats. Having transferred from San Jose State, where he led the team in points the last three years, the 22-year-old is averaging 53 yards on kickoff for Villanova (2-2).
