FRISCO, Texas – HCU quarterback
Cutter Stewart and safety
Javon Bejarano were recognized by the Southland Conference as Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week on Monday morning following the Huskies' 43-24 win over East Texas A&M this past Saturday.
Stewart had a big night, leading the HCU offense on six scoring drives and accounting or five touchdowns. The senior quarterback rushed for a career-high 110 yards with two touchdowns while also throwing three touchdown passes and completing 19-of-33 passes for 188 yards without throwing an interception. Stewart has now gone five games without throwing an interception and has 10 touchdown passes to just two interceptions in 146 attempts this season.
Bejarano, meanwhile, recorded a pick-six for the second consecutive game and led the Huskies with 11 tackles. The senior safety intercepted a pass in the final minute of the game and returned it 55 yards for a score to put an exclamation point on a 27-point fourth quarter for the Huskies. He also had a forced fumble and one pass breakup in the win.
The Huskies head to Beaumont, Texas this coming weekend for a 3:00 p.m. matchup against the Lamar Cardinals with both teams sitting at 3-1 in SLC play in a tie for second place.
