RICHMOND, Va. – Monmouth University football student-athletes
Makhi Green and
Sone Ntoh have earned the CAA Special Teams Player of the Week and CAA Offensive Player of the Week awards, respectively, the league office announced Monday.
The honors come following Monmouth's dominant victory on Saturday afternoon. The 63-21 win over Fordham gave the Hawks their first three-game winning streak since 2022. Monmouth never trailed and scored its second-most points in a game in program history.
Green cemented his candidacy for the CAA Special Teams Player of the Week Award on the game's opening kickoff when he took it 100 yards to the house for his first-career kickoff return for a touchdown. Green went on to contribute in the punt return game as well with 31 return yards on four attempts. Offensively, Green caught two passes for 12 yards to give him 143 all-purpose yards on the day.
Ntoh turned in a career day with a team-record tying five rushing touchdowns to lead Monmouth's offensive attack. He totaled a personal career-high of 136 yards on 15 carries, good for more than nine yards a run, and moved into a tie for eighth in MU history with 26 career rushing scores. Ntoh leads the FCS with 12 rushing touchdowns this season and his 14.4 points per game also are the most in the country.
Monmouth is back at Kessler Stadium on Saturday when it continues CAA play. The Hawks host Delaware at 1 p.m. and the game will be broadcast live on NBC Sports Philadelphia and FloSports.
