Abuhoff Top Rookie Again

Freshman corner/return specialist Shawn Abuhoff has been named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week. From the Ivy League release:

Abuhoff set a school record with 190 kickoff return yards, including the first touchdown return (94 yards) in seven years for Dartmouth in the Big Green’s 45-16 loss to Brown. His 94-yarder is the sixth longest kickoff return in school history as well. The long return came in the first quarter, the first Dartmouth touchdown in the opening quarter all season. With one punt for 11 yards, Abuhoff ended the game with 201 all-purpose yards. He also added three tackles (one solo) from his cornerback position.

Named to the honor roll were senior linebacker Andrew Dete, sophomore receiver Timmy McManus and freshman quarterback Conner Kempe.

It's Abuhoff's second such honor and the fourth time in nine weeks a Dartmouth player has taken home the award. Here's the 2008 list so far:
