DURHAM, N.H. – Dalton Crossan
(Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y.), a junior running back on the No. 20/23
University of New Hampshire football team, was named the Madness CAA
Football Offensive Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on
Sunday.
Crossan scored four first-half rushing touchdowns to
propel the Wildcats to a 34-0 lead en route to a 37-14 victory against
Elon University on Oct. 3. His 36-yard scamper opened the game scoring
just 75 seconds into the game. He crossed the goal line again on a
one-yard plunge with 33 seconds left in the first quarter as well as at
13:37 (eight-yard run) and 4:49 (two yards) of the second quarter.
At the end of the first half, Crossan had already totaled 93 rushing yards on 12 carries.
Crossan's
four TDs marked a personal best, as did his 22 carries and 140 rushing
yards; it was, in fact, the first 100-yard rushing game of his career.
Crossan averaged 6.4 yards per carry and finished with 177 all-purpose
yards.
New Hampshire (3-2 overall, 1-1 CAA) returns to action
Oct. 17 at the College of William & Mary (12 p.m.). The Wildcats'
next home game is Oct. 31 (1 p.m.) vs. the University of Rhode Island.
