WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – After posting a tremendous performance in the William & Mary football team's victory at Hampton, running back Bronson Yoder was selected as the W&M Student-Athlete of the Week presented by the Virginia Lottery.
 
Yoder was voted as this week's award winner by the Tribe fanbase via social media polls on both the @TribeAthletics Twitter and Instagram accounts. Volleyball's Anna Porter, women's swimming's Sophia Heilen and men's swimming's Noah Fields were also honored as finalists for the weekly award.
 
En route to helping W&M improve to 5-0 on the road, Yoder rushed for a game-high 115 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown. The impressive effort marked the fifth time this season he has rushed for more than 100 yards.
