This Wednesday, Nov. 29 will be a double header for Princeton hoops as both men and women play at Jadwin Gym. The women will take the court first and be up against a team they became familiar with last season.
While the Princeton women’s basketball team did not get the win on Sunday, Nov. 19 — they lost to undefeated Georgia Tech 67-56 at Jadwin Gymnasium — many positive things stood out that show long term signs of success for the team. One of the biggest signs is the play of sophomore power forward Bella Alarie, who continued her hot start with her second straight double double. Building upon a tremendous rookie season last year, Alarie’s continued growth in all aspects of the game will pay dividends for the Tigers throughout this season and beyond.
The 2017 Princeton women’s soccer season has had its fair share of exciting, big time games. But none compare to the Tigers’ stunning 2–1 victory over North Carolina, advancing them to the NCAA quarterfinals in the most exciting, high-stakes game of the season.
In a game dominated by defense, Princeton dropped its home opener to BYU 65–56. Princeton began to rally late in the game — at one point cutting the Cougars’ lead to 3 points with about 5 minutes to go, but were foiled by some late game stops and a Cougar offensive run. Junior guard Devin Cannady led the Tigers in scoring with 19 points. Meanwhile, junior Myles Stephens led the way on defense with eight rebounds. Princeton was able to hold most of the BYU offense in check but had no answer for Elijah Bryant, who had 22 points and seven rebounds and was the catalyst for the Cougars. The Tigers dropped to 0–2 on the season, but played well against to quality NCAA teams. The Tigers return to action Saturday at St. Joseph’s University.
While most of campus is quiet and sleepy in the early morning hours, this week, bright, colorful Christmas lights and the sound of '80s and '90s hits can be heard outside of Frist Campus Center at all hours of the day. Come a bit closer, and you’ll find one of the many Princeton men’s rugby players pedaling away on a stationary bike, pushing onward in a tradition that has now spanned 10 years.
The Tigers are leading Yale 24-14 at halftime. Princeton struck the first blow, recording a touchdown in the first quarter off a connection between senior quarterback Chad Kanoff and junior wide receiver Jesper Horsted. The Orange and Black would build on their advantage early in the second quarter as Kanoff completed an 18-yard pass to junior receiver Stephen Carlson, extending the lead to 14. However, the Bulldogs quickly responded, finding their way to the end-zone within the minute off a 47-yard rush from Zane Dudek. Both Princeton and Yale completed one more touchdown apiece, keeping the game tight. The Tigers are currently outgaining the Bulldogs 283 yards to 186 yards through the air and will look to build on their lead heading into the second half.
Friday night’s game featured the coldest temperature for a soccer game this season with a game time temperature of 26 degrees. However, the Tigers dominated from start to finish, leaving only one team feeling cold this evening.
Before many Tiger fans even had a chance to enter the stadium, their team was up the scoreboard. From there, the domination on the pitch only continued to escalate.
To say this weekend’s game against Yale is critical is not doing it enough justice. When the Tigers take the field for their Saturday matinee showdown against the No. 1 Bulldogs, everything will be at stake. Currently, the No. 3 Tigers need to win a few games to claim a piece of the league title in one of the closest races in recent memory; a Yale win sinks the Tigers' hopes of the title. Adding to the stakes of this game is Princeton’s shot at the bonfire. Since Princeton’s dismantling of Harvard on national TV earlier this season, players and fans alike have had this game marked down as the biggest of the year. Can the Tigers overcome multiple heartbreaking defeats and win their final home game of the season? On this Saturday’s homecoming, the need to win, the opportunity to secure the first bonfire in four years, and Princeton and Yale’s bitter rivalry will collide on the gridiron in what will most definitely be the biggest game of the season. It all happens at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Powers Field. Be there, and get loud for your Tigers!
Two hundred and thirty days ago as Devin Cannady’s shot rang off the iron and fell into the hands of the Notre Dame center, the door closed on Princeton's magnificent 2017 season. Now a junior guard on the team and central pillar of leadership for the Tigers, Cannady recognizes the Notre Dame game as a moment that has stuck with this team since last March and has fueled them in their preparation for 2018.
With only 11 days left in the 2017 offseason, the women’s basketball team is putting the finishing touches on an offseason which saw the team get stronger on both sides of the ball and develop what head coach Courtney Banghart called “a new sense of purpose.” After a season in which the Tigers finished second in the Ivy League standings and advanced to the inaugural Ivy League Tournament final, the team looks for loftier goals this year in their quest to return to the Big Dance.
With Princeton still chasing the Lions in the standings, the Tigers will head home for the final time this season and look to continue their long winning streak against Cornell while honoring their seniors.
It was a wild weekend for the Princeton soccer teams this Saturday. Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium played host to some doubleheader action, as the men took on Columbia in the afternoon before ceding the pitch to the women for their Saturday night showdown, also against Columbia. The men got things rolling with a wild 0-0 draw against the No. 22 team in the nation that went into two overtimes. The Tigers hung around for the entire afternoon despite being outshot 21-6 by the Lions. Sophomore goalkeeper Jacob Schachner had a career-high seven saves for the Tigers in net and spearheaded an impressive defensive effort which led Princeton to its first Ivy League point this season. Despite the lack of scoring by both teams, the Tigers and Lions played a tightly contested and very entertaining game that was an awesome start to the doubleheader.
What happened Saturday night no one could have predicted. The No. 11 Tigers — winners of five straight matches and heavy front runners for the Ivy League women's soccer title — were upset at home by Columbia 2-0. There is no way to describe it other than as a shocking upset; the Lions did come into the game undefeated in conference play as well, but many saw the Tigers as a dominant, perhaps even an unstoppable, force in the Ivy League. Princeton got blitzed by Columbia; the Lions scored two goals in the first 11 minutes of the game and the Orange and Black could not manage a retaliatory score despite having 21 shots on goal. Now, the Tigers are left to lick their wounds and respond with a strong showing in their final games. Despite, the loss, the Tigers can still claim the Ivy League title and even a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Let’s take a look at the current situation for the Tigers and their outlook for the rest of the season.
Playing a team who makes its home across the globe, the women’s ice hockey team managed to get in a valuable exhibition game just in time for the season to begin.
The Princeton Tigers have had their fair share of tough opponents this season. This weekend, the No. 14 Tigers faced UConn, their second time going up against a No. 1 ranked team in the country. Also on the slate thus far for Princeton were two teams ranked No. 3 (Delaware, Penn State), the No. 4 team (Duke), the No. 7 team (Syracuse), the No. 10 team (Maryland), the No. 22 team (Rutgers) and the No. 24 team (Boston University). However the Tigers have risen to the occasion and currently sit at 6-6. Even better, Princeton is currently undefeated in Ivy League play after defeating Columbia 3-0 this Friday. However, the Tigers will have to conclude most of the season away from the friendly confines of Sherrard Field as 4 of their final 5 games are on the road. Up next for Princeton are back to back games against Brown and Northeastern this weekend. Then, the Tigers will match up against the Crimson in what should be an epic battle for control of the Ivy League title.
Two weeks ago, junior Jimmy Wasserman had a rough weekend at the Ivy Plus Invitational. This past weekend, he redeemed himself with an incredibly successful performance at the Farnsworth Invitational at the Lenz Tennis Center.
Anyone familiar with the game of golf knows that one of the hardest things to do is hit a hole-in-one. The true representation of a perfect game, a hole-in-one is something that not even many pro golfers have been able to accomplish, much less everyone else that loves the game. It is a feat that requires the perfect combination of setting, choice, execution, and luck. This Sunday, one of our Tigers nailed this perfect storm and walked away with a hole-in-one of his own. Freshman Jake Mayer, who finished tied for 29th at the MacDonald Cup hosted by Yale University, left his mark on the tournament by being the only golfer to ace a hole across the three rounds of play. We caught up with him after the tournament to talk about the experience.
