Case Western Reserve University junior linebacker Chanan Demery was selected as the University Athletic Association Football Defensive Athlete of the Week, after helping lead the Spartans to a 53-28 win over Saint Vincent College on Saturday night.
Demery picked off a pair of passes to set the tone for a strong defensive effort for the Spartans in the game. He helped stall the Saint Vincent momentum early in the game with an interception with 11:39 remaining in the first quarter at the Spartans' 14-yard line, and then added his second of the game with 1:40 left in the third quarter, returning the ball 15 yards to the Saint Vincent 15 yard line to eventually setup a key Spartan touchdown.
