The fall season is young, but for Princeton men’s soccer, the next few days hold a lot of promise. This Saturday they’ll face Binghamton (5-3) in an away game and on Tuesday they’ll challenge No. 19 American University (6-2) in their second game at home. The Tigers currently stand at 2-2, and a pair of wins (and especially a win over American) would provide just the spark the team has been looking for heading towards their first Ivy League opponent of the year, Dartmouth, the following Saturday. Having just missed out on an NCAA bid last season, expect this team to send a message over the next week and a half.Women’s soccer stands at a solid 5-3 on the season but they’ll face their first conference opponent, Yale, this Saturday at home. The Princeton-Yale matchup has historically favored the away team, with the guest claiming victory the last eight years. However, the women are coming off a strong 2-1 overtime win against William & Mary, their first win over an NSCAA-ranked team since 2012, and are currently on a three-game win streak, so they look primed to walk away the victors on home turf. Furthermore, the Tigers have outshot every opponent except Rutgers this season and have averaged three goals in each of their last three games. If the Tigers keep it up, Saturday should be a thrilling contest with plenty of fireworks.This week both the men’s and the women’s teams earned the NSCAA College Team Academic Award for having a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better during the 2014-15 academic year, making it clear they’re stars in the classroom as well as on the field.

The Princeton field hockey team has had a difficult schedule so far this year. The Tigers dropped their season opener to No. 3 North Carolina and then suffered an overtime defeat against No. 4 Virginia. Despite these losses, following the opening weekend, two players earned weekly accolades. Senior goalie Anya Gersoff played all 155 minutes and recorded a .757 save percentage against North Carolina and Virginia, tallying a career-high 14 saves against UNC and matching that number the following day against UVA. Gersoff was rewarded with Ivy League Co-Player of the Week honors for her efforts. Freshman striker Sophia Tornetta was named the Ivy League Rookie of the week as she scored one of the Tigers’ two goals against UNC and recorded an assist, a goal and two defensive saves against UVA.The Tigers turned things around on Saturday, cruising past Bucknell 5-1, but suffered another tough loss 4-3 on Sunday to No. 18 Delaware.As the score suggests, the Tigers displayed end-to-end domination against Bucknell, finding themselves up 4-0 by halftime alone. Sophomore striker Ryan McCarthy got it started, scoring at just the 7:50 mark in the first half. More and more Tigers would get in on the act, as freshman striker Nicole Catalino, junior midfielder Ellen Dobrijevic and junior midfielder/striker Cat Caro got goals of their own on the day (Catalino scoring twice).Delaware got off to a quick start against the Orange and Black, with Meghan Winesett netting their first goal just 52 seconds into the game. In the fifth minute, Winesett once again put a shot past Princeton’s Gersoff to extend the lead to two. In the 21st minute, the Tigers looked to make a charge and earned their first penalty corner of the afternoon. Freshman midfielder Elise Wong set up a shot on goal from senior midfielder Teresa Benvenuti, forcing Delaware’s goalie to make a kick save, which sophomore striker Ryan McCarthy was able to corral and push into the net to put Princeton on the board. Continuing the offensive push a few minutes later, Princeton earned another penalty corner. Again Wong set up Benvenuti, who slapped a hard shot toward the cage, which Caro was able to tip past the goalie to level the score at two.The Tigers took the lead a few minutes into the second half with a big goal from Benvenuti, but Princeton wouldn’t hold the lead long, as Delaware responded five minutes later with a shot from the top of the circle that found the back of the net. Delaware kept the pressure on in the 56th minute, when junior back Hailey Reeves was forced to save a shot from Greta Nauck, and then got the go-ahead goal minutes later with a shot from Michaela Patzner.As the game entered the final five minutes, Princeton was able to stay within striking distance as one Delaware shot hit the post and Gersoff made a diving save on another to keep it out of the cage. As regulation time ticked down, the Tigers were able to earn a penalty corner. Tornetta fired a shot toward an empty Delaware net, but a defensive save left Princeton with a loss.Gersoff recorded two saves on the day, and the Tigers finished with a 13-9 shot advantage and 6-3 penalty corner advantage.The Tigers take the field again on Sunday at home against American.

The Princeton fencing season came to a close two Sundays ago in Columbus, Ohio, at the NCAA Division I Championships. Summarizing the Tigers’ entire season would be a nearly impossible task, as fencing is broken down into three weapons and the men and women have separate teams, each with an individual component and a team component. However, the Princeton fencing season can only be characterized as astonishing.

With Jadwin Gymnasium hosting the College Squash Association Individual Championships for the first time this weekend, the Tigers made sure to offer plenty of thrills. Sophomore Alexandra Toth capped the three days of excitement, grabbing the Women’s B Division title Sunday afternoon. She was the only Tiger to compete all three days. Freshman Kira Keating’s run in the Women’s B Division was cut short on Saturday, when she was knocked out in the round of 16. In the Women’s A Division, sophomore Maria Elena Ubina and freshman sensation Olivia Fiechter collided in the quarterfinals on Saturday, where Fiechter emerged victorious only to fall later that day in the semis. Fellow Tiger, senior Nicole Bunyan, faced a similar fate, losing in the semis on the opposite side of the bracket. In the Men’s A Division, tri-captain senior Samuel Kang bowed out in the quarters.
