NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Freshman defensive lineman Christian Brewton (Dumont, N.J.) was named Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL) Defensive Player of the Week and sophomore linebacker Hector Lopez III (East Hanover, N.J.) earned co-Special Teams Player of the Week honors, as the league announced its weekly awards today.

Additionally, junior WR/QB/P Josh Smith (Parsippany, N.J.) was selected to the weekly Honor Roll for the second straight week.

Brewton returned an interception 51 yards to finish off the Cougars' 29-19 win at D'Youville on Saturday. He also recorded six tackles, including 2.5 for loss and had two pass breakups.

Lopez intercepted and returned a two-point conversion 97 yards for rare defensive conversion, giving CU a four-point lead at the time (instead of the game potentially being tied). He also had a team-best nine tackles, including a sack.

Smith scored a second quarter receiving touchdown from his wide receiver spot, then threw the go-ahead TD strike in the fourth as quarterback in place of injured soph Cael Zebrowski (Verona, N.J.).

The Cougars (1-1) host Mansfield on Friday at 7 p.m. in their home opener.
