DartmouthSports.com Athletes of the Week - Davis & Blain

Competing against a nationally ranked team and tough Ivy opponents, two of Dartmouth's best came up big for their team's this week. Senior Connor Davis kicked a field goal as time was running out to give the football team a road victory over the No. 21 Harvard Crimson. Back at home the women's volleyball team swept both Penn and Princeton in Leede Arena for the first time since 2017 led by the heroic play of sophomore Ellie Blain.

Their efforts are rewarded by being named the DartmouthSports.com Athletes of the week.

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