Abare cleared to play

Senior safety Larry Abare has been cleared to play for Saturday's Ivy League opener at Cornell.

Abare was knocked out of Saturday's win over Georgetown with a concussion. Reserve running back Ricky Galvez, who ran for 37 yards and caught four passes against Georgetown, will not play because of a hamstring injury. Galvez's absence should lead to more playing time for junior Brandon Scott and possibly for former Ansonia High star Alex Thomas backing up Mike McLeod.
