Cape Air Athletes of the Week - Kyler & Bowlby

Lions and Tigers and "Bears". The Big Green football team won its 19th overall Ivy title with a win at Brown last week, in large part to junior Derek Kyler who led the team down the field twice in the fourth quarter for a come-from-behind win over the Bears. At home on the ice in Thompson arena, freshman CC Bowlby had three-points in a 5-2 victory over the Bears of the University of Maine.

Their efforts are rewarded by being named the Cape Air Athletes of the Week.

Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as the Cape Air Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.

Derek Kyler, Jr., DeKalb, Ill., QB, Football

With Dartmouth trailing Brown by two scores entering the fourth quarter, junior Derek Kyler orchestrated two touchdown drives to lift the Big Green to a 29-23 victory over the Bears and clinch a share of the Ivy League title, Dartmouth's league-record 19th. On the first drive, he completed all five of his passes, the longest a 47-yard gain to Hunter Hagdorn and the last a 9-yard score to Drew Estrada. On the very next drive, Kyler connected with Estrada again for the go-ahead score, this time from 39 yards out, then added a 2-point conversion on a pass to Hagdorn in the end zone. Kyler finished the game completing 19-of-23 passes for 303 yards and four touchdown tosses (both of which are career bests) without an interception.

CC Bowlby, Fr., Edina, Minn., F, Women's Hockey

Freshman CC Bowlby had the first three-point performance of her career in Dartmouth's 5-2 victory over Maine on Saturday. With the score knotted at 2 apiece in the second period Bowlby scored a shorthanded goal with an assist from Gabby Billings for the eventual game-winner. The Big Green followed that up with two power play goals for the 5-2, final. The native of Edina, Minnesota picked up the helpers on two power-play tallies while scoring the game winner and the team's first shorthanded goal of the year. She currently leads the team in goals (4) and points (8).
