Nate Hancock earned athlete of the week honors after making a game-changing play to help the Patriots bring home the Brass Lantern.  The senior finished the game with three tackles, however, his biggest moment came in the third quarter.  Towards the end of the third quarter as Union had a first and ten from their 44, Hancock intercepted a pass and returned it 52-yards to the house for the first pick-six of the year for UC.  That play gave the Patriots a 10-7 advantage as Hancock was a key part of the Patriots defense that shutdown the Bulldogs offense for the remainder of the game.
