Greta Feldman followed in seventh at 2:07.39.Senior Taylor Morgan, team captain, was proud of her team’s overall performance this past weekend. “Overall the team performed quite well,” she said. “The most exciting performance of the weekend was junior Allie Harris's 4.20m clearance in the pole vault, which set a new Ivy League record by 8 centimeters.” Harris also came in first place for the pole vault at the Tiger Open two weeks prior.Morgan also praised her team’s performance throughout the season so far and attributes their success to their hunger for growth and for more titles. “The team has been performing quite well this season. Coming off of an Ivy League title in cross country, everyone is hungry for a victory during both the indoor and outdoor seasons,” said Morgan. “Many PRs have been written and rewritten already, which is awesome, because through this point most of us have been training through these meets, the idea being to peak at the Ivy League championships. Performances and competition really begin to start up around now in preparation for [the Heptagonal Championships]. Pretty much everyone will keep training hard for the next week or so, then begin to back off in order to be rested enough to compete at our championships.”Morgan, however, also acknowledges cohesion and unity within the team as another contributing factor to its overall success. “With so many different events in the sport of track and field, we are quite diverse, but nonetheless we are still a family. We make efforts to learn about each other's events and PRs in order to support one another on the track, but we also have team bonding to bring us together in general. It is important to us to bridge event group gaps and create a more cohesive unit not only in order to win championships, but to care for each other as well.”Based on the team’s collective hunger and dynamic, Morgan looks to the remainder of the season with hopeful eyes. “Indoor Heps is in three weekends, so that is the next big meet for us. The ultimate goal is to win the triple crown (where one school wins cross, indoor and outdoor Heps in one year), so winning indoor is the next step in that conquest. We are a dedicated, passionate and talented bunch, and I have faith that we can come together come Heps and take home the crown!”

Women’s soccer is on a roll, adding a ninth game to their win streak. Despite three consecutive losses earlier on in the season, the team is sporting an impressive 11-3 record heading into this week’s match. With their 3-1 win over Columbia this past Saturday, the Tigers are now 4-0 in the Ivy League and are tied for first place with the Harvard Crimson.The Tigers came out strong, scoring two goals before the clock reached 15 minutes. In the 11th minute came the first goal from junior forward Tyler Lussi, who finished a long crossing pass from sophomore midfielder Vanessa Gregoire with a header right above Columbia’s goalkeeper Allison Spencer. Shortly after Lussi’s opening goal, freshman forward Mimi Asom scored the second goal, assisted by Gregoire and sophomore defender Mikaela Symanovich. “I think it’s important to get two early on in the game,” Gregoire told the Ivy League Digital Network about their early 2-0 lead, “but it’s also a very dangerous score because one goal could make a huge difference, so I think it was definitely very important for us to go out there and get those two first goals.”Senior defender Emily Sura sealed their victory with the third and final goal, hammering in a long-distance shot taken from a free kick. Princeton’s shutout streak was ended, however, when Columbia’s Natalie Ambrose scored in the seventy-fifth minute.Lussi and Asom are season standouts. Lussi scored her 11th goal of the season and the 39th of her career at Princeton. She is now tied for third place with Emily Behncke ’06 for top goal scoring in program history. Asom scored her ninth goal of the season and is just three short of Linda DeBoer ’86, who is the current record holder for most goals scored as a freshman. “They are definitely dangerous players. Anytime you play against them, you know that they have something very dangerous in them. They connect well, they are able to put the ball in the back of the net, and that’s definitely something defenders should be worried about,” Gregoire said in the same interview about her teammates after Saturday’s game, “It’s about them getting the job done, and that’s what they’re doing so far.”The team as a unit has also been challenging past records. Their nine-game win streak is the program’s longest since its 12-game streak in 2012, and each game has had two or more goals scored by the Tigers. The team has won 11 out of 14 games for the first time since 2004 and has outscored their opponents 28-7.The next highly anticipated game is against the Crimson, who are also in first place in the Ivy League with a record of 4-0. The showdown is scheduled to take place on Saturday in Cambridge. Gregoire said, “We love playing against them. It’s a huge game, a huge rivalry. A lot of people are getting ready to go. We have been all season, so it’s going to be a good game.”
