Sophomore quarterback Kevin Rombach and freshman linebacker Nathan Totino have been named MAAC Offensive Player and Rookie of the Week respectively for their performance in DU's 31-20 loss at Monmouth on Saturday.

It is the league-high fifth time Rombach (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) has been named Player of the Week. He won the award four consecutive weeks in September and October.

Rombach completed 23-of-41 passes for 226 and three touchdowns in the loss.

It is also the league-high fifth time Totino (Pittsburgh, Pa./Seton-La Salle) has been named Rookie of the Week. Totino had eight tackles (seven solo) in the defeat.

Duquesne finished the season with a 6-4 record, capping their final year in the MAAC with their 11th league title (shared with Iona and Marist).

The Dukes will compete as an associate football-playing member of the Northeast Conference beginning in 2008.
