PRINCETON, N.J. – Harvard Football's Sean Line has been named the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday. The award is the first of his career after he helped the Crimson defeat New Hampshire on Saturday, 31-7.
 
A native of Stockholm, Line recorded a game-high 10 tackles, a game- and career-high 2.0 sacks, a game- and career-high 3.5 tackles for loss, and one forced fumble. His sack total was one more than UNH had as a team and his TFL total was a half-tackle shy of matching the Wildcats' total for the game.
 
Line, who has four straight double-digit-tackle outings dating to last year, was part of a Harvard defense that limited UNH to seven points in the game and 49 yards rushing just one week after the Wildcats put up 42 points and 153 rushing yards vs. Stonehill.
 
Line and the Crimson are now preparing for their Ivy League opener, which is slated for Friday vs. Brown at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and the contest will air live on ESPN2.
