Lindsey Branch, UMW Sports Information

DILLON, Mont. – After delivering no. 23 Carroll College their first conference loss this past weekend in a home 27-14 victory, Bulldog linebacker Keegen Muffich, a junior linebacker from Butte, Mont., is the ERCK Hotels Frontier Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

Muffich delivered a game-changing interception with a return for 29 yards in Bulldog defense in their win over No. 14 Carroll, staying in the hunt for the Frontier Conference title.  No. 4 ranked UMW handed the Saints their first conference loss of the season, which denied CC for their chance for an outright conference title. 

Muffich also had a team high seven tackles, with five being solo tackles. 

This is Muffich's third career Erck Hotels / Frontier Conference Player of the Week award.
