Dartmouth College's Shawn Abuhoff, a freshman cornerback, was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week for his performance in Dartmouth's 35-7 home loss against 23rd-ranked Harvard on Saturday.

Abuhoff (pictured) is the second Big Green football player to earn one of the conference weekly awards this year, joining freshman place-kicker Foley Schmidt, who received the Rookie of the Week award on Sept. 22.

Abuhoff helped the Big Green defense hold Harvard's passing attack to less than 100 yards. He broke up one pass and made five tackles (three solo). Abuhoff lined up against Matt Luft, the Crimson's leading receiver this season, for most of the game. He limited Luft to two catches for 27 yards.

Abuhoff was also Dartmouth's return man on punts and kickoffs. He gained 28 yards (9.3 average) on three punt returns, and brought back two kickoffs for 44 total yards.

The Big Green (0-7, 0-4 Ivy) will attempt to snap its nine-game losing streak Saturday at Cornell (1 p.m.). Dartmouth defeated Cornell, 59-31, in Hanover last year.
