BELTON, Texas — Mary Hardin-Baylor senior linebacker Tevin Jones had a game-high 15 tackles, including five solo, to lead the No. 1 Cru defense that held Albright to 273 yards of total offense in a 56-15 victory.
For that performance, Jones was named American Southwest Conference Defensive Player of the Week. It was the first time Jones has played in a game in more than 18 months.
Five of Jones tackles were solo stops as he helped lead a defense that forced three turnovers and recorded four sacks. The Cru is now 1-0 to start the season. UMHB returns to action with the ASC opener at home this Saturday.
The Cru will welcome Belhaven University (0-2, 0-1 ASC) to Crusader Stadium for a 6 pm kickoff.
