PAC Offensive Player of the Week
Domonique Hayden • Junior Running Back • Thomas More College
Lexington, Ky. / Lexington Christian Academy

Hayden rushed 27 times for 252 yards and four touchdowns in the Saints’ 42-21 PAC victory over Thiel last Saturday in Greenville, Pa. He had a 58-yard scoring run in the second quarter and capped his terrific performance with a 55-yard score in the fourth. The junior from Lexington, Ky. has totaled a NCAA Division III-leading 1,199 rushing yards through six games this season.

PAC Defensive Player of the Week
Montias Jackson • Senior Lineman • Geneva College
Lexington, Ohio / Lexington

Jackson had a career day for the Golden Tornadoes in Saturday’s 40-30 Homecoming victory over Saint Vincent. The senior from Lexington, Ohio totaled 4.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks in the victory. He’s currently tied for second in the PAC in sacks (7.0) and sixth in tackles for loss (8.5).

PAC Special Teams Player of the Week
Dion Williams • Sophomore Defensive Back • Bethany College
Clinton, Md. / Frederick Douglass

Williams made perhaps the biggest play for the Bison in their 27-20 victory over Waynesburg last Saturday in Waynesburg, Pa. With the Yellow Jackets on the Bethany eight-yard line and set up for the go-ahead field goal, Williams knifed in and blocked the Alex Henry attempt, which allowed the Bison to take over at their own two-yard line and eventually score the game-winning touchdown with just 20 seconds remaining. It was Williams’ first blocked kick of the season.
