FREELAND, Mich. – Olivet College senior running back Damorria Lilly has tabbed the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Football Offensive Player of the Week.

Lilly carried the ball 37 times for 203 yards and three touchdowns in Olivet's 44-27 win over Trine (Ind.) University Nov. 12 at the Cutler Athletic Complex. All three of his touchdowns came in the second half, and longest run of the day was 25 yards. For the season, Lilly has 156 rushes for 551 yards and seven touchdowns.
