FULL NE10 WEEKLY RELEASE
MANSFIELD, Mass. – Coming off of a second-straight week with a career-high rushing afternoon, University of New Haven sophomore running back Christopher Ais (Stoughton, Mass./Stoughton) repeats as the Northeat-10 Offensive Player of the Week as announced by the league office.
This past Saturday at previously unbeaten Saint Anselm, Ais finished with 183 net yards, opening up the game with a 73-yard sprint to the house on the very first play of the afternoon as he found a hole in the middle of the line and broke free down the right side.
Overall, he would carry the ball 21 times and lost just three yards total on the day. The game-opening touchdown from Ais was his first of two on the afternoon, the second being a receiving score as he hauled in pass for a 13-yard touchdown, his only reception of the afternoon.
For the season, Ais leads all NE10 running back with an average of 104.6 yards per game, the only player in the league to average more than 100 yards on the season. His 104.6 yards per game also ranks as the 21st best in all of NCAA Division II, while his 523 rushing yards is the 18th most in the nation.
Ais and the Chargers will return home for the first of back-to-back home dates on Saturday when they host Pace at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. Opening kickoff in the NE10 battle is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. with all of the action available on the Charger Sports Network on NE10 NOW with J.W. Stewart and Steve Kunsey on the call.
