USA South Names CNU's Rahland Gordon Football Defensive Player of the Week

NEWPORT NEWS, Va.- The Christopher Newport University football team received another conference honor on Monday. Junior linebacker Rahland Gordon was selected the USA South's Defensive Player of the Week.

Gordon, a product of Glen Allen, contributed 12 tackles Saturday night in CNU's 21-19 victory over USA South rival Ferrum at POMOCO Stadium. It was the lowest scoring output of the season for a CNU opponent.

Of Gordon's 12 total tackles, two were for a loss of yardage. Gordon tallied five solo tackles and seven assisted take downs as the Captains were able to hold down Ferrum's triple option offense. The victory was the third straight for Christopher Newport and improved the Captains to 3-2 overall and 3-0 atop the USA South.

The Captains travel to Montgomery, Alabama, this Saturday to take on Huntingdon College. It will be the first meeting ever with the Hawks, and will also be a showdown for first place. Huntingdon is 2-1 in the USA South and 3-2 overall. Kickoff time is set for 2:00 p.m.
