On two occasions--one late in the second quarter, and the other early in the second half--Unsworth broke through the line of the Big Green and blocked a punt deep in Dartmouth territory.
The blocks helped an otherwise lackluster Columbia offense, which gained a mere 245 total yards, score its second and third touchdowns of the day and put the Lions ahead, 21-0.
Dartmouth would spring back to life midway through the third quarter. The Big Green scored twice on consecutive possessions off an 11-yard TD reception by Bob Bun and a nine-yard TD run by Reggie Belhomme. The scores trimmed the Columbia lead to 21-14.
From that point on, however, the Columbia defense took over and prevented Dartmouth from inflicting any further damage. The Big Green did engineer a threatening drive to the Columbia 25-yard line with just over a minute to play in the game. However, on first down, Dartmouth QB Brian Mann fumbled the ball on an errant pitch attempt. The Lions recovered, and went on to win their first league victory of the season.
For his efforts, Unsworth was honored as the Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week.
