LANCASTER, Pa. - Coming off their first win against Johns Hopkins since 2006 the Dickinson football team had two players named Centennial Conference Athletes of the Week as linebacker Joaquin Acuna and running back Dane Sorensen have earned the honor the league office announced.

Acuna, the native of St. Leon, Germany, had a team-high eight tackles (four solo), 2.5 sacks and 3.5 tackles for a loss totaling 21 yards in Dickinson's 35-21 victory over Johns Hopkins on Friday night. The senior defensive end also forced a fumble in the midst of the Red Devils' 28-point third quarter outburst and broke up a pass as Dickinson turned a 21-7 halftime deficit into the 14-point victory. It marked Dickinson's first win over Hopkins in Carlisle since 2001.
