Slavik's selection was a little surprising, especially considering all the talk (or would that be finger-pointing?) about the Crimson's weak offensive line.
Senior linebacker Monte Giese and senior tight end Read Hubbard got honorable mention nods.
The award to Hubbard (16 receptions, 315 yards, 4 TDs) is the second straight year a Harvard tight end has been honored by the coaches despite seeing only limited time as a receiver.
Andy Lombara '92 was named to the first team last year.
Hmm. Coach Restic, are you listening?
Harvard Notes: Giardi became the second player in the program's history to win two different post-season awards. Giardi--last year's Crocker Trophy recipient--received the Robert F. Kennedy Award, given to that player who demonstrates "his willingness to work, has made himself a valuable member of the team, and has thereby gained the respect and admiration of his teammates and coaches"..."I'm surprised," Giardi said, thanking his teammates for the honor...Senior Marc Hourihan won the William Paine LaCroix Trophy for enthusiasm and sportsmanship. "I'm real honored," the offensive lineman said...Seniors Nick DeAngelis and Joel Lamb were co-winners of the Henry N. Lamar Award, given to the senior who "through his dedication to the program and concern for his fellow, makes a unique contribution to Harvard football."
Ivy Notes: Dartmouth has now had the league's MVP for the last three years (!), a feat unmatched since Pennsylvania's golden years of '84-85-86... Penn linebacker Pat Goodwillie was named Sophomore of the Year for leading the Quaker's stifling defense, ranked sixth in the nation in total defense and fifth in scoring defense. Giardi shredded it pretty well, though...Princeton and Cornell led the league with the most All-Ivy mentions (12). Princeton and Dartmouth had six players on the first team...Harvard tied Brown with seven mentions.
Make whatever you want of that, but again--Restic, are you listening? 1992 IVY LEAGUE FOOTBALL FINAL STANDINGS
