Tiger Tidbits: Golf, Water Polo and Basketball

Wasserman finished tied for 19th at two-under and shot an outstanding 66 in the second round. Senior co-captain Drew Maliniak, who is also a staff writer for The Daily Princetonian, followed Wasserman at five over, and junior Greg Stamas shot a plus eight.

Rounding out the Tiger participants were junior Juan Pablo Candela and senior co-captain Max Schechter, who shot plus 12 and plus 16, respectively.

Eastern Kentucky won the team event with an 18 under, bettering Princeton by 31 strokes. The tournament was the Tigers’ last official competition before Oct. 24, when the team plays at the NCAA Pre-National Tournament.

Cole, Groves stand out in pool and off the court

Though the men’s water polo team couldn’t break through against its three top-10 opponents last weekend, no one could blame sophomore center Jeff Cole. After scoring 13 times in five games — all against ranked teams — Cole was named the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division Player of the Week.

Princeton (8-7 overall, 3-0 CWPA) took on a bevy of top squads at the SoCal Tournament, upsetting No. 11 Pacific and beating No. 16 Redlands in a grueling quadruple-overtime showdown. Cole was consistently excellent, netting six goals in the Tigers’ upset of Pacific and finding the net once in Princeton’s 12-4 loss to No. 3 Stanford.

Freshman forward Angela Groves of the women’s basketball team earned the Tavis Smiley Foundation’s Youth in Action Award for founding the Youth Convent Committee (YCC) in her home town of Cleveland, Ohio. The YCC, which serves the community through services such as tutoring and voter registration, also held a youth leadership conference in April of this year, hosting more than 100 African-American leaders from area high schools.
