Somerset, NJ - Sophomore running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Bridgeton), who ran for 216 yards and scored four of Wagner's five touchdowns in a 38-17 NEC win over Robert Morris on Saturday, has been named the NEC-Co-Offensive player of the Week.
 
Williams shares this week's honor with Jordan Brown of Bryant who gained 243 yards on 33 carries vs. Sacred Heart. This marks the second time that Williams has been honored by the NEC this season. Following a 26-carry, 180-yard effort vs. Saint Francis (PA) on September 3, Willams picked up his first NEC Offensive Player of the Year Award.
 
Williams has now been honored by the NEC five times in his career as he was the NEC Rookie of the Week on three occasions in 2009 before sitting out the 2010 season with a knee injury.
 
The 5-9, 200-pound averaged nearly 7.0 yards per carry on the way to his first career 200-yard rushing performance against Robert Morris. Williams ran 32 times, three of which resulted in first-half scores as the Seahawks took a 24-3 lead into the break.  One play after Robert Morris' second-quarter field goal cut Wagner's lead to 14-3, Williams kept the Seahawks in control by sprinting 56 yards for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, he ripped off a career-long 79-yard run that set up his fourth touchdown of the game. Williams now has 1,222 rush yards rushing on the season which places him eighth on the Seahawk single-season list to go with 12 touchdowns.

This marks the fifth time that a Seahawk has been cited by the NEC this season. Sophomore cornerback Torian Phillips (Staten Island, NY/ Port Richmond) was named Defensive Player of the Week following the November 5 victory over Sacred Heart. Redshirt freshman cornerback Jarrett Dieudonne (Fort Lauderdale, FL/ Dillard) copped NEC Rookie of the Week honors following a big game vs. Georgetown (10/8). Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) and junior linebacker Carl-Olivier Prime (Laval, Quebec/ The Kent School) were named Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively following Wagner's 38-28 season-opening win over Saint Francis (PA).

The Seahawks, who have won consecutive games vs. Sacred Heart and Robert Morris, will look to end the 2011 campaign with a three-game winning streak as Wagner closes out the season at Monmouth on Saturday, November 19 in a Noon start.
