Ryan Hinds, a junior defensive back at the University of New Hampshire, has been named the Colonial Athletic Association's Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in UNH's 42-14 triumph over Towson on Saturday.
Hinds (pictured) opened the scoring Saturday when he grabbed a Sean Schaefer pass and returned the interception 74 yards for a touchdown with 10:23 left in the first quarter.
Hinds also intercepted a Schaefer pass in the second quarter. He returned the ball 35 yards to set up quarterback R.J. Toman's 7-yard touchdown pass to running back Sean Jellison.
Hinds recorded six tackles (four solo) in the victory, which was the 500th in the program's history.
UNH will face Hofstra in Durham on Saturday (noon).
