COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.  Western Colorado's Ian Loomis not only loomed large on the field in Saturday's 41-20 victory over Colorado School of Mines, but he also loomed large in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference weekly football awards voting as the senior linebacker was voted the RMAC Defensive Player of the Week.

Loomis led the Mountaineers with seven total tackles in the win, six solo and one assist, with one of his solo stops a sack of the Mines quarterback.

His menacing of the opposing QB didn't end there, however, as Loomis stepped in front of a pass to the left flat and raced untouched down the sideline for a 25-yard pick-6 in the fourth quarter to put the icing on the win over the Orediggers.

Loomis was part of a defense that limited Mines to just 65 total yards on the ground, and held the Orediggers running back, who entered the game as the RMAC's second leading rusher, to only 21 yards.

Both of Loomis' career interceptions are pick-6s, after returning one 55 yards last season.
