ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

So far this season, junior attack Ilvy Friebe has dominated the headlines for the field hockey team.

Last week, her classmate, attack Rachael Becker, jumped into the spotlight and showed that there was more than one Tiger who could dominate a game.

The winner of the Eastern College Athletic Conference and Ivy League Player of the Week honors, Becker scored four goals in Princeton's three wins last week, including the game-winning goals in wins against both Delaware and UConn.

In the 3-2 win over the Blue Hens, Becker scored the third goal for Princeton to give it the win.

Then the Tigers faced off against Brown in Providence, R.I. and Becker scored once in Princeton's 4-1 victory.

But it was in Sunday's 3-2 victory over UConn that Becker really made her mark. The junior scored two important goals in the Tigers' win Sunday to give her six goals on the year, three of which were game winners.

Now those headlines might change a little bit.
