WEST HAVEN, Conn. – Following a shutout of American International on Saturday, graduate linebacker Chris Campbell (Staten Island, N.Y./Tottenville) snagged his first Northeast-10 Conference honors as he was named the league's Defensive Player of the Week as announced on Monday afternoon.

Campbell highlighted the Chargers defensive stand with a team-high eight tackles, three solo and five assisted, which also included a team-best 2.5 tackles for loss that resulted in five yards. In addition to his eight tackles, he also added an interception that he returned four yards, a fumble recovery and a quarterback hurry.
