Dominic Walker an OUA Player Of The Week

I was away all week so am only now finding out about Ravens receiver Dominic Walker's selection among the three OUA players of the week.

It may be his first season with Carleton Ravens, but rookie receiver Dominic Walker made his presence felt in a big way in the team’s Week 3 win over Waterloo. 

Walker got on the board early after hauling in the short pass from QB Michael Arruda to extend the Ravens’ first quarter lead to 8-0. From there, Walker showcased his big play ability and reeled in the longest play of his early career. Walker took the deep toss from Arruda and did the rest of the damage with his legs, with the pass and run going for 95 yards to the house. 

Both touchdowns proved critical in the team’s eventual three-point win over the high-octane Warriors, and Walker’s overall line of five catches for 130 yards has helped the first-year Communication Studies major to earn offensive honours for Week 3.

The Ravens followed up that win with a double-overtime victory against Queen's at home on September 15th. Sounds like the kind of game that can open the door for more players to be honoured! Carleton is now 3-1 at mid-season with a heartbreaking blown lead against the defending champion Western Mustang as the only blemish.
