Dartmouth Player Earns Top Rookie Honor

Giudicelli Named Ivy League Rookie of the Week

November 6, 2007

HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth men’s soccer defender Brayn Giudicelli was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week Monday.

It marks the third straight week a Dartmouth men's soccer player has been honored by the conference and the sixth time this season that a Big Green player has been named Ivy player or rookie of the week.

Giudicelli, who is just one of five players to start all 15 games and the only freshman, has been a staple in the Dartmouth back line this season. It was offense, however, that got him recognized as he scored his first collegiate goal with the game-winner in a 3-1 victory against Cornell Saturday.

The rookie came up from the defensive third for a Dartmouth corner kick in the 25th minute and made a perfectly timed leap to catch a cross from senior Nick Christman (Falmouth, Mass.) for a header goal. The tally proved the difference maker as the Big Green took a critical 3-1 victory over the Big Red.

At 10-3-2, 4-0-1 Ivy, Dartmouth remains in the title hunt and heads to Brown for a critical showdown on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
