When junior midfielder Linley Gober put the women's soccer team ahead of Penn, 1-0, in the Tigers' final regular season game last Saturday, one couldn't help but feel that the rest of the contest was a mere formality.
The reason: Senior goalkeeper Jordan Rettig, who would go on to post a shutout for the sixth time in seven Ivy games.
Leaping in the air to intercept crosses and diving to block shots, Rettig dominated the Princeton penalty area as she has done all season. The Quakers finally ran out of time, and the Tigers headed to the NCAA tournament.
Today, Princeton will take on Wisconsin in the first round of that tourney. The Tigers have never faced the Badgers in varsity action, and the long road trip is an unenviable one. Princeton knows its Big Ten foe will provide stern resistance.
But the Tigers will have Rettig — a goalkeeper who enabled them to post a 6-1 conference record despite scoring just nine goals in league play this year. In its biggest game of the season, Princeton will once again look to her to lead the way as it hopes to pick up just its second NCAA tournament win in the program's history.
