WESTERVILLE, Ohio – The Ohio Athletic Conference announced the selection of Capital football player Robbie Hatcher as the conference's Special Teams Player of the Week after a historic day this past Saturday. 

This weekly award is Hatcher's first career weekly accolade and marks the fourth weekly award for Capital football this season and the third on special teams. 

Hatcher's award comes on the heels of a record setting performance as the defensive lineman blocked three Heidelberg PATs. The three blocked kicks was a Capital single-game record, breaking Harry Campbell's previous record set back in 1937. Additionally, the three blocks tied Hatcher for the most blocked kicks in a single-game this season across all NCAA divisions, including the FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III. The three blocks kept Capital in the game as the team rallied to score a touchdown and convert a two-point try to tie the game and force overtime in the final minute of regulation. 

In addition to his special teams play, Hatcher added four tackles and a QB hurry in Saturday's double overtime loss to Heidelberg. 

This season, Capital football has blocked 11 opponent kick attempts – a total that leads all NCAA Divisions including the FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III. Hatcher and teammate Declan McAdams each have four blocks – a number that ties them for second most individually in Division III. 

Hatcher and the rest of the Comets will be back on the field this Saturday for their final game of the season as they host Ohio Northern for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff.
