Hobart first-year running back Hector Lopez was named the Liberty League Football Rookie of the Week by the conference office today. First-year kicker Owen McNulty, senior running back E.J. Taylor and senior defensive tackle Hunter Vos all earned a spot on the league's weekly honor roll.
 
Lopez rushed for 54 yards on just three carries against Hilbert on Saturday. He averaged 18.0 yards per carry. Lopez scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 17-yard run on the final play of the third quarter.
 
McNulty scored a season-high 11 points in Hobart's 65-0 win over Hilbert. He booted a 40-yard field goal and went 8-of-9 on PATs. The 11 points are tied for seventh on Hobart's single-game list for points by kicking, while McNulty's eight extra points are tied for third most in a game.
 
McNulty is the top scoring kicker in the Liberty League this season with 49 points. He is 28-of-29 on PATs and 7-of-11 on field goal attempts. McNulty kicked his longest field goal of the season, a 42-yarder, in a win over Brockport on Sept. 12. He leads the league in field goals made and is third in PATs made.
 
Taylor rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns on just eight carries against the Hawks. He scored on runs of 9, 14 and 16 yards, helping the Statesmen build a 41-0 lead just 90 seconds into the second quarter. It was Taylor's fifth 100-yard rushing game of the season and the 19th of his career.
 
Taylor leads the Liberty League in rushing yards with 974, rushing touchdowns with 13 and points with 94.
 
With 3,857 career rushing yards, he moved into fourth place on Hobart's all-time list, passing Ty Godinho '05 (3,807). With 46 career rushing touchdowns, Taylor moved up to third place, passing Don Aleksiewicz '72 (44) and Keith Brandon '02 (45). With 52 total touchdowns for his career, Taylor moved into second place on Hobart's all-time list, passing Rich Kowalski '76 (50). Taylor also moved into second place in career points scored with 316, passing Kowalski (302).
 
Vos led the Hobart defense with six tackles, including four for loss, in a shutout of Hilbert. His four tackles for loss are tied for fifth on Hobart's single-game list. The Statesmen recorded 15 tackles for loss in the game, limiting the Hawks to minus-38 yards rushing and minus-18 yards of total offense.
 
Through nine games, Vos has 34 tackles, 11.5 for loss, and a team-high 7.0 sacks. He ranks fourth in the league in tackles for loss and is tied for second in sacks.
 
Hobart (6-3, 4-2 Liberty League) will conclude the regular season at Buffalo State (1-8, 1-5). Kickoff at Coyer Field is set for 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14.
