Three members of the Holy Cross football team have earned weekly honors from the Patriot League, the conference announced on Monday, Sept. 20. Sophomore quarterback Matthew Sluka (Offensive Player of the Week), junior linebacker Jacob Dobbs (Defensive Player of the Week) and senior placekicker Derek Ng (Special Teams Player of the Week) were all recognized after the Crusaders recorded a 20-17 victory at Yale on Saturday, Sept. 18. 

Sluka rushed for a pair of touchdowns in the victory, totaling 85 yards on the ground and 80 yards in the air. This marks the second time this season that Sluka has been named the conference's Offensive Player of the Week, as he also earned the honor in Week 1. 

Dobbs totaled a team-high 13 tackles in the win, including four tackles for loss and a pair of fourth-quarter sacks. He has recorded double-digit tackles in each game this season, and leads the Patriot League in sacks and tackles for loss; he ranks second in FCS in total tackles (42). 

Ng hit a game-winning, 47-yard field goal with 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter to lift the Crusaders to their comeback victory. He made two field goals on the day while also connecting on both of his extra-point attempts. He is now a two-time Special Teams Player of the Week honoree, earning the same recognition in Week 1. 

Holy Cross (2-1) returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 25 with a contest at Monmouth. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
