CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Senior Laura Hottenrott (cross country) and junior running back Tyler Rouse (football) have been named Eagles of the Week.

Hottenrott won the UMass Invitational with a personal-best time of 17:34 on Saturday to lead Boston College to a second place finish. She won the race by five seconds, besting UConn’s Emily Durgin who finished at 17:39. Hottenrott was also the top Eagle performer by 49 seconds.

Rouse rushed for three touchdowns to lead the Eagles to a 76-0 victory over Howard on Saturday. All three of his touchdown runs were in the first quarter, pacing BC to a 41-0 lead after 15 minutes, which was just eight shy of the NCAA FBS record of 49 points scored in a quarter. The Eagles' 76 points tied for the second-most scored in school history.
