Julia Beaver
Women's Squash and Lacrosse — Senior
Julia Beaver definitely had a bad year this year. She lost a match. Twice. Terrible. Then she won the WISRA National Individual Championship for the third straight time, beating both the players that had beaten her earlier in the year in the process. Then, as proof that she has the best hand-eye coordination on campus, Beaver walked onto the lacrosse team and caught on as the backup goalie.
Ryan Mollett
Men's Lacrosse — Senior
Ryan Mollett was the best defenseman on the best defense in the country, a defense that made Princeton possibly the best team in the country. Mollett directed defensemen Damien Davis and Scott Farrell in front of goalie Trevor Tierney, a powerful foursome that allowed only five goals a game this season — almost a goal better than the second-best defensive team, Maryland.
Julie Shaner
Women's Soccer and Lacrosse — Senior
Shaner was the captain of two Ivy League championship teams. Using speed that might be unmatched on campus, Shaner earned First-Team All-Ivy status for her work on both teams. She racked up 20 goals and 20 assists for the lacrosse team, helping keep it in contention for a national title and making her one of five finalists for the Tewaaraton Trophy, given to the nation's best player.
Brie Galicinao
Softball — Junior
Brie Galicinao earned a spot on the First Team purely by virtue of her statistics. At the plate, she was the team leader in batting average, home runs, RBI, doubles, hits and slugging percentage. On the mound, she led in ERA, wins, complete games, innings pitched and strikeouts. Her ERA was a tiny 0.64, while her batting average was a prolific .364. Galicinao's team struggled, but she was outstanding.
Dennis Norman
Football and Track & Field — Senior
The 'Prince' Male Athlete of the Year, Norman was conspicuous in positions that are normally far from fans' eyes. He was the best offensive lineman on a very good line — good enough, in fact, to be taken in the seventh round of the NFL draft. Signing a contract kept Norman from competing for the track team, but he had already distinguished himself as the team's best discus thrower and second-best shot putter.
Nate Walton
Men's Basketball — Senior
Without question, the most electrifying team on campus this year was the men's basketball team. Picked to finish in the middle of the Ivy pack, Princeton scrapped its way to an NCAA tournament bid behind the cool-headed play of Nate Walton. Walton led the team both emotionally and statistically, dishing out innumerable impressive passes and consistently grabbing key rebounds and hitting vital buckets.
