Women’s volleyballAfter kicking off its season with six matches on the road, the women’s volleyball team (3-4 overall, 0-0 Ivy League) dropped its home opener Tuesday night to Seton Hall (3-5, 0-0 Big East) in three straight sets, 25-15, 25-16, 25-20. Sophomore right side Kendall Peterkin had a team-high 12 kills and three service aces for the Tigers. Peterkin, who also added seven digs, returns to Dillon Gymnasium after an impressive freshman season, when she was just one of two freshmen in the Ivy League to be named to first-team honors. Rookie outside hitter Cara Mattaliano closely followed Peterkin, recording 11 kills and 10 digs. Junior middle blocker Tiana Woolridge contributed seven kills and a team-best .357 hitting percentage, while defensively sophomore libero Sarah Daschbach contributed 19 digs. Princeton was unable to get its offense going, as the Tigers only hit .050 for the match. The Tigers will next travel to Rhode Island for the Bryant Tournament, where they will play three non-conference games before opening Ivy League play on Sept. 27 against Penn in Dillon Gym.
After graduating thrice-honored first-team all-Ivy outside hitter Lydia Rudnick ’13 and losing three straight Ivy matchups at the end of last season, head coach Sabrina King ’01 — herself once a standout member of Princeton women’s volleyball — remains enthusiastic about her team’s prospects. Five new Tigers from the Class of 2017 will take the court this season, but King admits she does not know which one will have the biggest impact.
Coming into the 2013 cross-country season, both the men’s and women’s teams are bolstered by strong packs of freshman recruits. Spearheaded by experienced upperclassmen, the Tigers are poised to excel on the national stage — with the men ranked ninth and the women 29th. Buying into that mentality, the new runners are looking to add to Princeton’s depth, and several may soon break out into the Tigers’ top seven.“It looks to be a pretty good class; I am excited about the possibilities,” women’s head coach Peter Farrell said. “This is a class that has a lot of character, and I see them developing.”
When the 2013 season opens on Sept. 21, 30 new freshmen will suit up in orange and black as members of the football team. After the program’s first .500 football season since 2006, the incoming members of the Class of 2017 have higher expectations than previous recruiting classes.
The last time the sprint football team won an official game, junior wide receiver and defensive back Chris McCord was just eight years old, and it was 1999. Fourteen years and 87 consecutive losses later, McCord stood at the activities fair in Dillon Gymnasium as junior captain of the squad, trying to convince freshmen that they could make history.
The men’s water polo team will add three recruits from the Class of 2017 to its roster this season to join the 16 returning members.
After winning both the Ivy League Championship and the NCAA Championship with a nearly perfect record, the field hockey team (21-1 overall, 7-0 Ivy League last season) has high hopes for the 2013 season and its incoming freshman class.
The women’s soccer team got to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year, but the Ivy League Champions — who went 14-4-1 overall and 7-0 in the Ancient Eight — hope to make it even further this year.
