WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross freshman linebacker Jacob Dobbs has been named the Patriot League Rookie of the Week for his performance in Saturday's game at Navy.

During the contest against the Midshipmen, Dobbs led the team with a game-high 13 tackles, including 10 solo stops. His 13 tackles were the most by a Crusader in his collegiate debut since Phil Tyburczy made 18 tackles against Bucknell in 1993.

The Crusaders (0-1 overall) return to action on Saturday, Sept. 7, when they play host to New Hampshire at 1:00 p.m.
