Kempe named Rookie of the Week
Freshman quarterback Conner Kempe has been named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week for his performance in Dartmouth's 37-14 loss at Cornell on Saturday.
Kempe, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound product of The Benjamin School, completed 25 of 52 passes for 256 yards against Cornell. He completed his first five passes of the game, and scored his first career rushing touchdown on a 1-yard run.
Kempe (pictured) entered the game with 10 completions for 104 yards and one touchdown in two games.
In addition, two Dartmouth players were named to the Ivy League weekly honor roll for their work at Cornell. Senior linebacker Andrew Dete recorded a season-high 11 tackles in the game, and sophomore Tim McManus made a career-high 10 receptions for 122 yards. It was the third 100-yard game of his collegiate career.
The Big Green (0-8, 0-5 Ivy) will attempt to snap its 10-game losing streak against Ivy co-leader Brown (5-3, 4-1 Ivy) in Hanover on Saturday (12:30 p.m.).
