Offensive Player of the Week
Matt Pawlowski| Guilford| So.| Quarterback
Pawlowski, a sophomore from Greensboro, N.C., picks up his second weekly award of the season after leading Guilford to an improbable comeback against Emory & Henry. The Quakers trailed 31-0 as late as midway thru the third quarter before Pawlowski and the Guilford offense caught fire. He tossed four touchdown passes, including the game-winner to Adam Smith from 42-yards out with 19.7 seconds to play in GC's 35-31 win. Pawlowski, who threw for 358 yards and four touchdowns on 37-of-52 passing on the day, was 25-of-32 for 270 yards in the final 30 minutes. His 37 completions are a career-best and rank 10th in school history. Pawlowski finished the season with 2,373 yards thru the air, completing 61.7-percent (190-of-308) of his passes. He currently leads the ODAC with 24 touchdown passes, the fifth-highest mark in school history. He threw just three interceptions.

Ikwild came up big on the second attempt, standing up R-MC back Will McGhee short of the goal line to preserve H-SC's lead.

12:00 p.m.
Hampden-Sydney will continue its season in the NCAA Division III
Football Tournament next Saturday, its fourth trip to the national
stage in five years. The Tigers will play host to Maryville
College (Tenn.) in the first round, marking the third time H-SC has

Huntingdon College, 45-38, in the season finale.
Hampden-Sydney has won three straight since falling to
Shenandoah in late October.

a 28-26 victory on Saturday. Running back Will McGhee carried
the ball 38 times for 198 yards and two touchdowns. In the
