Kjos tallies three sacks, earns D3football.com Team of the Week

ORANGE, Calif. – For the second time in three weeks, a member of the Chapman University football team earned D3football.com Team of the Week honors. Senior defensive tackle Noah Kjos made his way on the national list after helping the Panthers to a 37-30 victory over No. 10 Whitworth this past weekend.

Kjos was involved in four of Chapman's five sacks against the Pirates. He tallied four total tackles and three total sacks on his way to disrupting the Whitworth offense.

The Los Altos, Calif. native led the Panthers with a career-high three sacks for a total loss of 16 yards. Kjos's first sack of the game knocked the ball loose for his first career forced fumble.

Kjos and the rest of the Panther defense held the Pirates to just 31 yards on the ground, allowing an average of a mere 1.6 yards per carry.

The Panthers take this next week off before jumping into SCIAC play on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. as they host Whittier in the Chapman Homecoming Game.
