Ivy League names Abuhoff top rookie
For the third time in four weeks, Dartmouth cornerback and kick returner Shawn Abuhoff has been selected as the Ivy League Rookie of the Week.
The Big Green's top cover man on defense, Abuhoff recorded a career-high 10 tackles, three of which were solo, while helping hold Princeton to 88 passing yards in Dartmouth's 28-10 road loss to the Tigers. He also returned a pair of kickoffs 43 yards and brought back three punts for 10 more.
Two other Big Green players were recognized on the Ivy Honor Roll for their efforts versus Princeton: senior linebacker Joe Battaglia finished his career with a career-best 12 tackles, five solo, to lead the Dartmouth defense; and junior Peter Pidermann returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown and contributed five tackles from his free safety position.
