Sorensen carried the ball 22 times for 178 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 8.1 per carry. His touchdowns included a nine-yard run in the second quarter and a 75-yard run on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter. On the 75-yard score, Sorensen broke four tackles, including being hit by two different defenders behind the line of scrimmage before breaking free.

Defensive Player of the Week
Jimmy Mulholland, So., S, Dickinson
Gaithersburg, Md. | Gonzaga College HS
Mulholland was a key reason for Dickinson handing Carnegie Mellon its first conference loss of the season 54-51 on the road in overtime. The sophomore recorded a team-high 11 tackles on the day, including a seven solo. He also added a tackle for a loss and an interception. However, his biggest moment came in the fourth quarter with 19 seconds left when he blocked a 44-yard attempt, which allowed Dickinson to march down the field and kick a game-tying field goal, before winning in the first overtime period.
