Ambrose and Killam tabbed HCAC Players of the Week

CARMEL, Ind. - Seniors Jordan Ambrose and Orry Killam earned weekly honors from the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. Ambrose was named football Offensive Player of the Week and Killam was named the men's soccer Defensive Player of the Week. 

This is the second straight year Ambrose has earned the honor and Killam's third honor by the conference in his career. 

Ambrose was responsible for four of Defiance's five touchdowns in Saturday's loss at Kalamazoo and accounted for 489 of 663 total offensive yards in the game. Jordan completed 72 percent of his passes for 369 yards and four touchdowns and also led the team in rushing yards for the second consecutive week with 120.
