Quakers lead in Ivy awards

Football team brings in honors Football team brings in honorsCompiled by DP Sports Staff Turner, the league's Defensive Player of the Week, anchored a swarming defense in Ithaca, N.Y. The nation's best defense, which only gave up 7.6 points per game, did not allow Cornell to score a single point for the final 52 minutes. Turner also stripped Cornell running back Chad Levitt deep in Penn territory late in the contest to stop a crucial Big Red drive. Penn recovered the ball, and shortly thereafter marched for the winning touchdown. Fichiera, the Ivy League's Offensive Player of the Week, helped ignite the Brown comeback victory over Columbia. The junior from Arizona stepped in for Marquis Jessie and ran for 118 yards on 21 carries, scoring four touchdowns in the second half. When the final gun sounded, Brown had 59 points, matching an Ivy League record set by Princeton in 1991. For the sixth time this season, Harvard running back Eion Hu was given the Rookie of the Week award. Hu, the obvious choice for Rookie of the Year, completed a record-setting year. He carried the ball 36 times for 145 yards, and topped the 1,000-yard mark for the season. With his 1,011 yards, he is the second Crimson back ever to go over that mark. Hu also finished the season with 11 touchdown runs. Penn quarterback Mark DeRosa topped the Honor Roll this weekend. He threw for a school-record 360 yards despite torn ligaments in his thumb of his throwing hand. The redshirt freshman finished the game with 24 completions on 40 attempts, three interceptions and one touchdown. Princeton all-purpose wide receiver Marc Ross paced the Orange and Black offense as the Tigers topped Dartmouth, 20-13, to tie Brown for second place, three games behind the Quakers. Playing in his last game, the senior from Sharon Hills, Pa., had 117 yards, and finished the season with a team-leading 1,177 all-purpose yards. Ross ended his career by breaking four school records -- career punt returns, 74; career punt-return yards, 696; punt returns in a season, 32; and punt return yards in a single game, 161. As Yale and Harvard battled to stay out of last place in "The Game" on ESPN2, Elis running back Bob Nelson ran through the porous Crimson defense. The junior tailback ran for 112 yards on 18 carries, scoring two touchdowns to beat Harvard, 32-13, in front of a national audience. Nelson's teammate in the Yale backfield, Keith Price, also chipped in two touchdowns. When Penn place-kicker Andy Glockner kicked a 41-yard field goal in the final seconds of the first quarter Saturday, he passed Rich Friedenberg as Penn's career leader in field goals. Friedenberg kicked 24 from 1988-90. Glockner ended his career with 25.
