The 6’2” righty is the third Tiger to be drafted in the last two years after fellow ace Matt Bowman ’14 and catcher Sam Mulroy ’12 were drafted by the New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels in the 2012 MLB Draft.

Crew: Women's openweight wins Ivy title

"It was a superb race, from the start to the finish," senior Heidi Robbins told GoPrincetonTigers.com just after her V8 boat won the grand final at the 2013 Ivy League Championships.

It was, indeed, superb for Robbins and her boat, which led the field throughout the entire race on its way to a 6:29.96 mark and a comfortable win over second-place Yale, which finished at 6:36.86. The Tigers redeemed themselves by winning their second Ivy title in three years after placing third to Harvard and Cornell at last year's Ivy Sprints.

Male Athlete of the Year: Matija Pecotic

Senior Matija Pecotic, the Daily Princetonian’s 2013 Male Athlete of the Year, says his original goal for his Princeton career was to make the starting lineup of the men’s tennis team. It’s safe to say that Pecotic, who recently became the first person ever to be named Ivy League Men’s Tennis Player of the Year three times, underestimated himself.

Female Athlete of the Year: Katie Reinprecht

In August of 2012, senior midfielder Katie Reinprecht was still training in Europe with the U.S. National Team as her year-long hiatus from Princeton field hockey drew to a close. Less than three months later, she was raising an NCAA Championship trophy in Virginia with her fellow Tigers.

During the final game of her college career, Reinprecht recorded an assist and the game’s only defensive save en route to a 3-2 upset over then-No. 1 North Carolina. Reinprecht’s efforts helped Princeton capture its eighth-straight Ivy League title and first ever national title.

Fencing: Princeton wins NCAA Championship

With strong showings by the entire team, Princeton separated itself from Notre Dame to win the NCAA Division I Fencing Championships in San Antonio on Sunday. It was Princeton’s first win at the NCAAs since the men’s and women’s tournaments were combined in 1990 — the men’s team won in 1964, and the Tigers came in second behind Ohio State last year. The men came into the tournament ranked third overall, behind Notre Dame and Penn State, and the women were ranked second behind Notre Dame.

Robinson ’83, alumni in sports industries discuss careers, college athletics

At a panel Friday morning, Oregon State basketball head coach Craig Robinson ’83 got a laugh from the audience with a joke behind which there is certainly a great deal of truth:

“There are three things that everybody thinks they can do,” he said. “Tend bar, start a fire and coach basketball.”

Q&A: Dick Cass ’68

Dick Cass ’68 is president of the Baltimore Ravens, the reigning Super Bowl champions. Before taking the job in 2004, he worked as a lawyer, facilitating the sales of the Washington Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys and the Ravens to their current owners and advising the NFL and team owners on a number of legal issues.

He came back to the Orange Bubble for Reunions to appear on an alumni-faculty panel called “Sports: The Inside Story” on Friday morning. After a long discussion of college athletics — and after shaking hands with a Cleveland native who said he had finally forgiven the Ravens for relocating to Baltimore — Cass took a few minutes to talk to The Daily Princetonian:
