From the Ivy League Office:
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth senior cornerback
Vernon Harris (Fort Lauderdale, Fla..) set the tone early, picking off two passes in the first quarter, to contribute to the Big Green's seven recovered turnovers in a 34-18 victory at Brown. Harris’ first interception came on Brown's first play from scrimmage in which a receiver caught a lateral then threw downfield, only to have him blow up the trick play. Late in the first quarter, he plucked a pass from the air and returned it 29 yards to the Brown 25-yard line. He also posted a trio of solo stops on the day. Harris' coverage contributed to holding the third-ranked passing offense in the FCS to a mere 95 yards through the air.
Harris' Statistics for the Week 3 tkls. (3 solo), 2 INTs
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth sophomore running back/return specialist Ryder Stone (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) provided what could be considered the most pivotal score of the game in the Big Green's victory at Brown. With a nine-yard touchdown to his credit on the day already and Dartmouth leading 14-6, Stone gave the Big Green a boost, fielding the kickoff at the 11-yard line and weaving his way through the coverage 89 yards for a touchdown. It was the Big Green's first kickoff return for a touchdown in three years. Dartmouth went on to build up a 34-6 lead into the fourth quarter and eventually got the 34-18 win.
