Two key contributors to the Muhlenberg football team's come-from-behind 39-36 win against Ursinus received weekly honors from the Centennial Conference.

Senior quarterback Dante Mahaffey was named offensive player of the week, while sophomore tight end Chris Holland was tabbed special teams player of the week.

Mahaffey threw for 203 yards and rushed for a career-high 116. The Mules trailed by 11 points in the fourth quarter before Mahaffey led them on two touchdown drives, converting three third-and-longs with passes of 21, 13, and 17 yards and rushing for 18 yards on third-and-16. He threw the game-winning touchdown pass, his third of the game, with 1:06 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Mahaffey's 116 rushing yards were just five short of the school record for a quarterback in a Centennial game.

Holland, who also saw considerable action at tight end, blocked a potential game-tying 38-yard field goal on the final play of the game to preserve the win. It was the fourth time in the last three seasons that a Muhlenberg game ended with one team or the other lining up to kick a field goal on the final play.

Here are the last six instances of a field-goal try being the last play of the game:

2025 vs. Ursinus - Holland blocks field goal to preserve 39-36 win
2024 at Franklin & Marshall - Connor Fenstermaker kicks 29-yard field goal for 24-23 win
2024 vs. The College of New Jersey - Matt Papa blocks field goal to preserve 55-52 win
2023 vs. Johns Hopkins - field goal is kicked into line but Hopkins recovers and runs in touchdown for 34-28 win
2018 at Thomas More - Todd Spirt kicks 20-yard field goal for 34-31 win 
2018 at Susquehanna - Spirt kicks 37-yard field goal in overtime for 37-34 win

The win against Ursinus kept Muhlenberg undefeated at 4-0 heading into this Saturday's game at Franklin & Marshall.
