HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- Hampden-Sydney College junior running back Melik Frost (Hardeeville, SC) has been named to the D3football.com Team of the Week for games played the weekend of September 17. Frost was selected for his outstanding efforts during a 70-28 non-conference home win past Greensboro (NC) College on Fulton Field at Lewis C. Everett Stadium.

The Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Football Offensive Player of the Week, as well, Frost rushed for a game-high and career-high 211 yards on 21 attempts (10.0) and a career-best four touchdowns, adding a career-high 59 yards receiving on three catches and one touchdown. The 211 yards rushing is the sixth-best single-game effort all-time at H-SC. Melik scored on runs of three yards in the first quarter, 35 yards in the second quarter, 64 yards and six yards in the third quarter, along with a 47-yard scoring reception in the first quarter from junior quarterback Andrew Puccinelli. The 64-yard touchdown run is the longest run of his career, as well as the longest run in the ODAC this season, and the 47-yard touchdown reception is the longest catch of his career—helping Frost account for a career-high 270 all-purpose yards and five total touchdowns against the Pride. His five touchdowns tie for second with several individuals in the ODAC's single-game record book, and the 30 total points are tied for fourth in ODAC history with several players.

Melik has rushed for 371 yards on 56 attempts (6.6) with six rushing touchdowns, adding 116 yards receiving on eight receptions (14.5), totaling 487 all-purpose yards in three games. He leads the ODAC in rushing yards, rushing yards per game (123.7), rushing touchdowns, total touchdowns (7), all-purpose yards and all-purpose yards per game (162.3), and is third in rushing average.
