HANOVER, N.H. – On Monday, punter Davis Golick was named Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week after averaging 46.5 yards per punt and knocking a career-long 62-yard punt.
Â
Golick's Special Teams Player of the Week honor marks the fifth time in eight weeks a member of the Big Green has won the award this season.
Â
Golick was a difference maker in the Big Green's win over the Princeton Tigers, Friday, stealing the show in the fourth quarter by kicking a career long 62-yard punt. The 62-yarder led to a Princeton fumble recovered by the Big Green and was the longest by a Dartmouth punter since Brian Scullin's against Cornell in 2008.
Â
With the score 24-17 in favor of the Big Green, Golic boomed another long punt, knocking this one for 59 yards, landing at the Princeton 2-yard line, leading to a safety to make the score 26-17, the final score.
Â
The 59-yard punt was also the longest Big Green punt since September 2015, meaning in the span of the fourth quarter, Golick had the two longest punts by a Big Green punter in nine years.
Â
Dartmouth is back on the road this weekend, travelling to Cornell to face the Big Red at 1 p.m. The Big Green will then return home to finish their season against Brown at 12 p.m.
