The Princeton field hockey team had a successful weekend on the road on Sept. 23 and 24, winning their first Ivy League opening game against Dartmouth and beating Boston University the day after. Playing two games back-to-back is not an easy task for any team, especially when compounded with the intense travel schedule that the Tigers have faced in the last 10 days, but this winning weekend now sees the Tigers sit at No. 16 In the NFHCA Coaches poll with an overall of 4-4.

The Princeton women’s soccer team is currently 6-0, having conceded only one goal, and has been ranked 20th nationally in the United Soccer Coaches Poll, the best record Princeton has held since 2004. The Tigers faced off against Rider and New Hampshire last week, winning both 2-0 and 3-1, respectively. Sophomore Courtney O’Brien scored twice in both games to help the Tigers continue their undefeated streak. In the matchup against New Hampshire, rookie Carolyne Davidson scored off a pass from senior captain Vanessa Gregoire. But this record has been very much a team effort; six different players have scored so far this season, and all the class years are represented. The Tigers have depth on the team, allowing them to play freely without being dependent on one player. This could definitely help later in the season and the postseason when injuries are more frequent.

The women’s ice hockey team experienced a red-hot couple of months this season, managing to maintain their momentum through the challenging January period, but the team's run ended this weekend as the Tigers fell to Yale. No. 9 Princeton (11-5-2 ECAC, 15-7-3 overall) entered the weekend sitting at fourth place in the Eastern College Athletic Conference and riding an 11-game unbeaten streak, having just shut out Quinnipiac University (11-5-2, 18-7-5) 3-0.

The Princeton Women's Ice Hockey Team has been busy over the Christmas season, playing four times since the start of the break, three of which were for the Eastern College Athletic Conference.

After picking up the three conference wins, the Tigers now find themselves second in the standings, above all their other Ivy League counterparts. However, the Tigers have played 16 games compared to the 10 played by third-place St. Lawrence, which trails behind by just a point. During the New Year's weekend, the Tigers hosted Penn State, where they tied 5-5 with the Nittany Lions, and then No. 8 Quinnipiac, topping the Bobcats 3-2. Freshman forward Carly Bullock netted her first career hat trick and freshman goalkeeper Steph Neatby, made a total of 29 saves, both helping lead Princeton to its first win over Quinnipiac since January 2011.

At the start of the season, the Tigers were diving very much into the unknown. The team had two new coaches come in just six weeks before the start of their preseason regime, head coach Carla Tagliente and assistant coach Dina Rizzo. For a team that had been so successful under previous head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn, it was a big ask, but it was expected that the Tigers would take the Ivy League by storm and win another championship. This didn't happen, as they ended up finishing second in the league after suffering a 3-2 heartbreaker against Harvard. This match ended up costing the Orange and Black an Ivy League Championship, breaking their 11-year run as champions, bringing a legacy to an end. “After we lost to Harvard, it was tough because we knew we were less likely to win the Ivy League … but in the long run, I think it takes off some of the pressure of always winning it,” said sophomore midfielder Jane Donio-Enscoe. The pressure may have been taken off the Tigers, but they would still be expected to win their final Ivy League games to give them any chance of qualifying for the NCAA tournament.

Princeton field hockey was beat by Harvard in overtime, 3-2. The Tigers started slowly in the first half and saw a sequence of shots on corners, which were blocked by freshman goalkeeper Grace Baylis. However, by the 13 minute mark, the Orange and Black were down one as the Crimson's Marissa Balleza touched in a pass from her teammate. The Tigers saw their best opportunity of the half from freshman midfielder Taylor Nolan, who found space in the circle, but shot wide of the goal. Several minutes later, Harvard pushed the ball past Baylis from a mishit in the circle; the goal stood, and the Crimson doubled their lead.The Tigers came out far stronger in the second half. Sophomore midfielder Jane Donio-Enscoe dribbled along the left side line and slipped a pass to senior captain Cat Caro. She slapped the ball on goal, and last year's Rookie of the Year, sophomore striker Sophia Tornetta, managed to reach her stick out to knock it past the Harvard goalkeeper. As the Tigers piled on the pressure for the Crimson, the games started to become emotional, with both sides trying desperately not to slip up. With six minutes on the clock, Caro deflected the ball from a short corner hit by freshman midfielder Maddie Bacskai and Princeton equaled the score line. The final six minutes remained rather frantic, with neither side managing to get a shot on target. The game headed to overtime.Just one minute into overtime, Harvard's Kathleen Young beat the Princeton defence down the right baseline to face Baylis in a 2-on-1 advantage. Young calmly pushed the ball past Baylis on her near post as Baylis went to go down early to try and intercept a ball across the face of goal. The Harvard team beat Princeton and thus remains the only Ivy League team to be undefeated in conference play. An understandably emotional Princeton team was devastated by the results of the game, which has likely cost them an Ivy League championship title for this season. The Tigers can now only hope that Harvard loses in their two remaining games against Dartmouth and Columbia. That being said, Princeton has to brush off the dust and move on, because the Tigers are back in action against Cornell this weekend.

This weekend either the Tigers' or the Crimson’s perfect record in Conference play will end. Along with football and soccer, Princeton field hockey will take on Harvard in what is likely to be its biggest game of conference play this season. Both sides have yet to lose a game, with the Tigers conceding only one goal and Harvard only two. The matchup between these teams is incredibly close and could be the game that decides the Ivy League champion. In previous seasons, Princeton’s biggest rival has been Penn, however this season the Quakers were defeated 3-2 in overtime by Harvard, and although the Crimson have not scored as many goals as Princeton, they have managed to grind out wins where necessary.

On Saturday, Princeton beat Brown 5-1 with senior captain Cat Caro scoring three points against the Bears. In the opening two minutes, Caro converted from a short corner to give the Tigers an early lead and set the tone for the game. Caro then came up with another goal 20 minutes in from a short corner shot by freshman midfielder Maddie Bacskai. Junior striker Ryan McCarthy then found space and played the ball to her teammate, junior Rachel Park, who remained calm in a one-on-one situation with the Brown goalie and pushed the Tigers to a 3-0 lead. Along with her assist, McCarthy scored a stellar backhand just minutes before the half, making sure the Tigers out shot Brown, 13-0, at the half way point.
