Kell Named NESCAC Co-Offensive Player of Week

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin quarterback Oliver Kell (Westford, Mass.) has been named the New England Small College Athletic Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week. Kell shattered several program records in Saturday's setback to Wesleyan to earn his second weekly honor of the season.

Kell broke the team's single-season records for passing yards and touchdowns during the game, and established new single-game records for completions, passing yards and total offense.

Against Wesleyan, Kell completed 35 passes for 472 yards with 513 yards of total offense, breaking the marks formerly held by Ricky Leclerc (32, 395 and 403 set against Amherst in 2004). His first touchdown pass of the game - to Pat Noone- broke the school mark for touchdowns in a season formerly held by Hayes MacArthur (12). Additionally, he broke his own single-season passing yards record during the contest, set last season (1,785). Kell has thrown for 2,012 yards and 15 touchdowns this season with two games remaining.

Bowdoin will return to action next Saturday at Bates College (12:30 p.m.).
