Heffernan and Arello Named to All-New England Football Team

HANOVER, N.H. — The New England Football Writers Association revealed its All-New England football teams this morning, and Dartmouth had two players selected to the Division I Team — linebacker Joe Heffernan and safety Quinten Arello.

An All-Ivy League Second Team selection, Heffernan led the Ivy League with 98 tackles and was second in tackles per game at 9.8. The 6-2, 230-pound fifth-year senior also posted 7.0 tackles for a loss with 1.5 sacks, forced a fumble, recovered another and broke up a pass. Five times the native of Brookfield, Wisconsin, recorded at least 10 tackles in a game with a career-high 15 on the road at Princeton, and he had at least six stops in all 10 contests.

A 6-1, 210-pound senior from Kansas City, Missouri, Arello was also an All-Ivy League Second Team pick. One of the Big Green's three captains this season, Arello anchored the defensive secondary, starting all 10 games while ranking fourth on the squad with 53 tackles, two for a loss. He also picked off a pass, broke up three more, forced a fumble and twice collected a career-high 10 stops — against Sacred Heart and the eventual Ivy champion Yale.

Notes: Dartmouth has had at least two players named to the All-New England Team in each of its last 12 campaigns.
