Salcido takes reins for Tigers after Barron leaves
Last year, the softball team relied on something old: veteran Kristen Schaus ’08, a three-time All-Ivy first-team selection and one of the most dominant pitchers in Princeton history. The team also benefited from something new — rookie head coach Trina Salcido. The Tigers borrowed a winning formula from the power-hitting 1927 Yankees, and by the end of the Ivy League season something was (black and) blue: Harvard’s bruised ego following a Princeton sweep in the Ivy League Championship Series. In all, Salcido’s pairing with the Tigers proved to be a match made in heaven.

“Every game is our biggest game,” women’s lacrosse head coach Chris Sailer said. “I think that’s one [defining] thing about our team: We won’t overlook anyone.” Princeton made good on Sailer’s promise in the first test of its season last weekend, as the Tigers defeated No. 13 Johns Hopkins, 13-9. The game was tied at nine in the second half when Princeton scored the game’s final four goals, two of which came from junior attack Kristin Morrison.

Like a quarterback on the football field or a point guard on the basketball court, the coxswain is the engineer of the offense in crew. As is the case for the quarterback and the point guard, how the coxswain performs can make or break a team’s results during competition. And in many ways, the coxswain is the mouthpiece for the head coach of the team while the crew is on the water.
