MANSFIELD, Mass. – For the third consecutive week, Saint Anselm College sophomore Drew Willoughby (Austin, Texas) was named Northeast-10 Conference Rookie of the Week.

He becomes the first Saint Anselm student-athlete to win the league's top rookie honors since Andrew Murphy was so recognized in the three weeks spanning from Oct. 22-Nov. 5, 2012.

Against No. 24 nationally-ranked Bentley, Willoughby threw for 456 yards in the game, pitching three touchdowns and completing 47 of his 73 passes on the afternoon. Willoughby's 47 pass completions ties him for second place on the single-game list and his 456 yards thrown is the third-most by any Saint Anselm quarterback in team annals.

Willoughby's 456 yards against Bentley is the sixth-highest total by any quarterback in NCAA Division II this year and the second-most by a freshman or sophomore signal-caller in 2021.

In just four career games for the Hawks, Willoughby has thrown for 1,410 yards and has 10 touchdowns during that span. After debuting with 190 yards against NCAA Division I Merrimack to open the season, he has increased his aerial yardage in each consecutive game (344, 420, 456).

Saint Anselm will play its next two games on the road, starting with Saturday's 1 p.m. showdown at New Haven.
