BALTIMORE, MD – Johns Hopkins junior running back Ryan Cary has been named the Centennial Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts in the Blue Jays' 45-29 season-opening victory against Washington & Lee. Cary, who earned the honor for the first time in his career, shared the honor with Moravian quarterback Mike Hayes.

Making the first start of his career, Cary rushed 20 times for 158 yards and three touchdowns and added three receptions for 69 yards and another score to lead the way against the Generals. Cary's four touchdowns tied the Johns Hopkins single-game record, while his 158 rushing yards are the second most in school history in a season opener. His 227 yards of total offense are also a career high.

Johns Hopkins, which ran its regular season winning streak to 32 games and its winning streak in the month of September to 24 games with the victory over the Generals, will open Centennial Conference play on Saturday, September 10 when the Blue Jays travel to Susquehanna to take on the River Hawks.
