Cottrell, Lowe Win Weekly Honors

Named to the Ivy League honor roll for their play against Princeton are linebacker Justin Cottrell (14 tackles) and tight end Brett Lowe (10 catches for 150 yards).

The Daily Dartmouth story on Saturday's season-ending loss to Princeton can be found here. ... To see how it looked from the other side of the field, check out the Daily Princetonian story.

The rich get richer (or stay just as rich): Harvard quarterback Chris Pizzotti intends to return for a fifth season after missing one year for medical reasons according to the Harvard Crimson. The story notes the Ivy League champions will have six starters back on offense and seven on defense.

New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos' college career will last for at least one more game. The Wildcats became one of four, four-loss teams ever to get a bid to the FCS/I-AA playoffs yesterday. Their reward: A date with undefeated and No. 1 Northern Iowa. Not that they are complaining as this Fosters Daily Democrat story notes. The lede of the Seacoastonline.com story said it all: "Lazarus has nothing on these guys."

Ironically, UNI and New Hampshire played a couple of years ago in the playoffs. That year it was the Wildcats who were the top seed and UNI upset them in Durham.

Also in the tournament is UMass, which will play host to Fordham Saturday at noon. For the full bracket to the dance the Ivy League unfortunately refuses to attend, click here.

And finally, it was a great weekend for former Dartmouth head coach John Lyons. His Kimball Union Academy football team finished an undefeated season with a 28-0 victory over Lawrence Academy Saturday in its NEPSAC bowl game and daughter Kyle, who is taking a postgraduate year at KUA, helped the school field hockey team win the NEPSAC championship yesterday.
