Tim DeMorat, Freshman, Football
The Patriot League Rookie of the Week gave fans reason to be optimistic about a team that fell to 0-4 in non-conference play, completing 63 percent of his passes, taking care of the ball and, with impressive mobility, bailing out what has been a subpar offensive line.

Elise Benjamin, Junior, Volleyball
Benjamin helped the Rams make defensive history, accounting for 11 of a program-record 17.5 blocks and silencing Rhode Island in a five-set victory. She earned A-10 Co-Defensive Player of the Week recognition for her efforts.
