Abuhoff a Preseason All-American

Dartmouth corner Shawn Abuhoff has been selected an honorable-mention, preseason All-American by a website called Consensus Draft Services.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Abuhoff tied for the Ivy League lead with 14 passes defended and three interceptions while making the All-Ivy honorable mention team as a sophomore. He had 41 tackles (four for a loss with one sack), forced two fumbles, returned a defensive extra point against Colgate and blocked a field goal against Columbia. He was chosen to the All-New England FCS team as a return specialist after finishing 18th in the country in kick return average at 25.3 yards per attempt. He was one return away from qualifying for the top-25 nationally in punt returns.

Princeton linebacker Steve Cody was named to the CDS second All-America team. Joining Abuhoff on the honorable mention squad are Brown quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero, Harvard safety Collin Zych and kick returner Garry Coles from new opponent Sacred Heart.

Hard to believe that Matt Szczur – the all-everything standout who led Villanova to the national championship last year – made only the honorable mention team as a wide receiver and kick returner.

When Dartmouth football held a bone marrow drive last month the goal, of course, was to save lives. For a look at someone whose life could be saved if a match is found, check out an NHL Fanhouse story on Yale hockey player Mandi Schwartz. Her impact on teammates, friends and the Yale family becomes clear when you look at Yale page encouraging people to Become Mandi's Hero.

Do you like the Dartmouth athletics logo? Do you wonder how it stacks up compared to logos from other Division I schools?

A website called sportslogos.net has collected logos from all of the nation's Division I schools (as well as pro leagues in various sports). To see how you think the Dartmouth logo compares, check out logos from:
