BAY CITY, Mich.-  Greyhound defensive back #J.T. Owens# has been named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, according to a release Monday by league officials.  The senior co-captain helped UIndy to a 38-20 win over Michigan Tech Saturday.

Owens grabbed interceptions on back-to-back possessions to start the second half.  The first was deep in Greyhound territory with MTU driving.  The second came when Owens victimized the Huskies again, this time returning it 42 yards for a touchdown to effectively put the game away for Indianapolis.  He totaled four tackles in the win and added a sack.

He becomes the first Greyhound to earn weekly league plaudits this season.  Wayne State's Joique Bell was the Offensive Player of the Week and Ashland's Carlin Isles was the Special Teamer of the Week. 

UIndy (3-5) will host Tiffin Saturday in the team's home finale.  The homecoming tilt is set for a 6:00 p.m. kickoff.
