PAC Offensive Player of the Week
Andy Kavcic • Case Western Reserve • Junior running back • Kirtland, Ohio/Gilmour Academy
Kavcic broke a 27-year old program record for rushing yards in a game, helping to lead the Spartans past Shenandoah 48-41 ... Kavcic carried the ball 30 times for a program-record 256 yards, averaging 8.5 yards per carry and running for a pair of long touchdowns, while also catching four passes for 12 yards ... He extended the Spartans’ lead to 20-0 with a 47-yard touchdown run with 2:28 left in the first quarter, and then added a season-long 53-yard run for a score to put CWRU in front 34-20 with 3:29 to play in the half ... Kavcic also helped CWRU run out the clock at the end of the game, carrying the ball on nine consecutive plays for 43 yards on the team’s final drive, and breaking the program record on his final carry of the contest ... The 256 yards are the second-most by a player in Division III in a game this season.

PAC Defensive Player of the Week
Coltin Colucci • Allegheny • Fifth-year senior linebacker • Brewster, Ohio/Fairless
Colucci helped Allegheny improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2009 with a 38-20 win versus Waynesburg after he finished with five total tackles, a fumble recovery, and an interception return for a touchdown … He recovered a strip-sack fumble early in the second quarter to halt a Waynesburg drive in Allegheny territory … Colucci picked off a Waynesburg aerial and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to give the Gators their first lead of the night … It was one of two pick-sixes for Allegheny's defense, which held the Yellow Jackets to minus-four yards rushing and only 95 yards of total offense.

On a designed play to start the game, Wolf received a cross-field lateral pass from Jake Kavcic at the 11-yard line and proceeded to take it the distance to give CWRU the early lead in the game ...
