COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. --- On Monday afternoon, the RMAC selected and announced its player of the week selections for football.
 
After a phenomenal week as a threat in multiple ways, Ben Noland was selected as the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week.
 
Coming off a week where Noland set the single-season school record with 16 receptions, he one upped himself this week, catching 9 passes for 193 yards and three touchdowns. He was not only dangerous as a receiver, however, as he also returned a punt 59-yards before being ruled out at the two-yard line as he was reaching for the pylon. In addition, he completed a 44-yard pass on a trick play.
 
Overall, Noland has been one of the best receivers in the Nation at the Division II level this year. He is 23rd nationally in all-purpose yards, 5th in receiving yards (886), 2nd in receiving touchdowns (11th), and 2nd in receptions (8.8 per game, 70).
 
Noland and the Hardrockers are looking to move past the .500 mark overall and in RMAC play on Saturday afternoon as they head to Adams State for a 1:00 matchup.
