GENEVA, N.Y.—Hobart College junior wide receiver Dan Suozzi (New Hampton/New Canaan, Conn.) picked up two more weekly awards today. One day after being named the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Week, he was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference Northwest Offensive Player of the Week and the Rochester Area College Athletics Co-Male Athlete of the Week.

Suozzi enjoyed a record-breaking afternoon in Hobart’s 28-20 win over Franklin & Marshall on Oct. 18. He made 12 catches for 239 yards and three touchdowns against the Diplomats, breaking the Statesmen’s single game marks for receptions and receiving yards.
