Case Western Reserve University junior linebacker Joshua Smith was selected to the D3football.com Team of the Week and was named the University Athletic Association Defensive Athlete of the Week, while junior linebacker/punter/kick returner/running back Travis Johnston was chosen as the UAA Special Teams Player of the Week.
The duo helped lead the no. 20/15 Spartans to 27-24 win at Waynesburg University on Saturday that clinched sole possession of the PAC Championship for CWRU and the automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs associated with it.
Smith notched a team-leading 13 tackles (10 solo), including three for a loss, and recorded an interception in the game.
