Westminster's Hart garners UMAC defensive honors

Sophomore cornerback Kyree Hart was named the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference defensive player of the week for his performance in Westminster College's 34-13 win at Crown College in last Saturday's conference opener.

Hart tallied six tackles - two for loss - a sack and forced two fumbles, including one he returned 38 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter.

The Blue Jays travel to MacMurray (Ill.) College for a UMAC matchup at 1 p.m. Saturday.
