University of New Hampshire senior linebacker Terrence Klein has been named the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in UNH's 28-24 victory over No. 2 Villanova at Cowell Stadium on Saturday.

Klein (pictured) made five total tackles, including 1.5 for a loss of 12 yards. He also posted a sack for 11 yards and came up with a key interception in the fourth quarter that halted a Villanova drive and allowed No. 5 New Hampshire to kick a field goal that capped the scoring. In addition, Klein knocked deflected a fourth-down pass than fell incomplete during Villanova's final drive.

Klein and his UNH teammates will travel to Amherst, Mass., for a key CAA North matchup against long-time rival Massachusetts on Saturday. Game time is at 3:30 p.m. and the contest will be shown live on Comcast Sportsnet New England.
