ATLANTA, GA- Millsaps senior defensive end Zach Bell has been named the SAA Defensive Player of the Week and the D3Football Team of the Week for his efforts against Hendrix. 

Bell was a disruptive force off the line on Saturday, recording 11 tackles, 3.5 sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss. The Metarie, LA native was in the backfield regularly on Saturday and even broke up a pass due to his constant pressure. 

For the season, Bell now leads the SAA with six sacks, a mark that also puts him in the top-10 nationally. His eight tackles for loss rank him third in the conference while his four pass break-ups place him fifth. 

The Majors are off this weekend and will resume conference play on October 18th as the Birmingham Southern Panthers come to town for a 1pm kickoff.
