When Ivy League play consists of only seven games, winning the conference title requires clutch performance each Saturday between October and November. And “clutch” is the only way to describe the men’s soccer team’s last two weeks of play, as the Tigers (8-3-3 overall, 3-1-1) took down strong opponents in both Harvard(9-4-2, 2-1-1)and Cornell (9-5-1, 2-3).

In a week characterized by performance under pressure during midterms, the men’s soccer team (6-3-3, 1-1-1 Ivy) will close its work week on Saturday evening when it hosts Harvard (8-3-1, 2-0-1 Ivy) in what could arguably be the most critical match of the team’s season.

In their third match of Ivy League play this fall, the men’s soccer team (6-3-3 overall, 1-1-1 Ivy League) came out of the weekend with a 1-1 draw on the road against Columbia (4-5-1, 1-1-1). While the Tigers were able to deal with the Lions handily in a 2-1 victory in their 2013 meeting, they struggled to get momentum going their way after allowing a goal just minutes into the match.

A 5-2 smashing of in-state rival Rutgers on Tuesday brought a little bit of solace to the men’s soccer team, following a crushing 2-1 overtime defeat to Dartmouth in the team’s Ivy opener last weekend. But as the days grow shorter and the air becomes brisker, the Tigers (4-3-2, 0-1 Ivy League) begin to care less and less about weekday results, as each weekend match decides their fate in the run for the Ivy League title. That quest will continue on Saturday afternoon, as Princeton hosts Brown (3-3-3, 1-0) for both teams’ second Ivy match of October.

It was just two years ago that senior forward Cameron Porter, then a sophomore, scored the game-winning goal just two minutes into overtime to sink Dartmouth in the men’s soccer team’s Ivy opener. But the Big Green (5-2-1 overall, 1-0 Ivy League) got its revenge on Saturday afternoon in the team’s first trip back to Princeton since 2012. A header from midfielder Matt Danilack in the 93rd minute beat junior goalkeeper Ben Hummel to the back of the net, and as quickly as extra time had begun, the Tigers (3-3-2, 0-1) had fallen in their first match of Ivy play.

This weekend witnessed the men’s soccer team accomplish something that it was unable to do last year: come out of the month of September with a winning record. After taking down Drexel on the road on Wednesday evening, the Tigers (3-2-2) won their first home game and third overall contest of the season on Saturday. The victory was a 2-0 decision over Binghamton (2-7), which was not only the Tigers’ first time winning back-to-back games this season, but also the team’s first time posting consecutive shutouts.

Looking for its second road win of the season, the men’s soccer team (2-2-2) came out of Philadelphia with a 1-0 victory on Wednesday evening against Drexel University (2-4-2). Junior forward Thomas Sanner’s conversion of a 53rd-minute penalty kick proved to be the deciding factor in a match where the Tigers’ dominance was not justified by the final score.

It was on Nov. 8 of last fall that the men’s soccer team faced a must-win showdown on the road in Philadelphia. Tied for second place in the Ivy League standings with Penn, the Tigers faced rather simple but enormous stakes: win and have a chance to win the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament or lose and eliminate all odds of playing postseason soccer. A 2-1 loss in front of an away crowd of 600 decided Princeton’s fate. It would be the third straight year that the Tigers found the conference title just out of their reach.

Coming off a thrilling 5-4 victory over Seton Hall University on Sunday afternoon, the men’s soccer team (1-2-1) came out strong against No. 13 Georgetown, but three second-half goals for the Hoyas propelled them to victory in a 3-1 loss for the Tigers on Wednesday night. The loss puts the Tigers at a 0-6-2 disadvantage in the all-time series against the Hoyas, and makes it the fourth consecutive season that Georgetown has won the matchup between the two sides.

In search of its first win of the regular season, the men’s soccer team (0-1-1) battled to a scoreless draw with St. John’s University (0-3-2) on Wednesday night at Roberts Stadium. The Tigers were in search of redemption after letting a late two-goal advantage slip away in a 3-2 loss to Fairleigh Dickinson University in last week’s season opener.
(09/09/14 3:41pm)
After suffering a heartbreaking double-overtime loss against Fairleigh Dickinson University in its first match of the regular season, the men’s soccer team (0-1-0) will look to rebound on Wednesday night as it takes on St. John’s University (0-3-1) in its 2014 home opener. A win would set the Tigers in a new direction from past years, as they are 1-4 in their last five home openers. What’s more, it was on September 28, 2011 that Princeton last hosted St. John’s at Roberts Stadium. Tied at two apiece in double overtime, the then-No. 15 Red Storm shocked the Tigers by scoring with 4.2 seconds remaining on the clock to seal the win on the road. The Tigers struggled against St. John’s in 2012 and 2013 as well, as they were shutout in consecutive road losses.

Is there such a thing as athletic perfection? After every performance, even the best athlete, looking back, will see a point along the road of training and competition where she could have moved a little faster, pushed a little harder or even been a little smarter. Perfection is perfection in the process, an impossibly high standard to which junior thrower Julia Ratcliffe steadfastly holds herself.

The Princeton track and field team knew it had recruited a special talent even before sophomore Julia Ratcliffe stepped onto its campus in September 2012. The native of Hamilton, New Zealand had placed fourth just two months before at the IAAF World Junior Championships in the hammer throw. Earlier in the year, she had set the New Zealand U-19 record for the women’s hammer throw, just as she had set the U-18 record in 2011.
