The Princeton softball team (14-22 overall, 7-5 Ivy) split their first doubleheader against Penn before defeating the Quakers (15-19 overall, 3-9 Ivy) in two matches during their second meeting this past weekend, remaining atop the Ivy League South division.The Tigers found themselves matched against a strong opponent in the Quakers, with Princeton’s two runs in the first being easily matched by a pair of Penn runs in the top of the second. From there, both squads remained neck and neck — Penn built a three-run lead by the end of the second inning, but senior catcher Skye Jerpbak hammered in a two-run homer to make the score 5-4 by the end of the second. The Tigers would charge ahead with another two-run play from freshman outfielder Kaitlyn Waslawski, but the Quakers evened the score at 6-6 by the top of the seventh. With only the bottom of the seventh to go, senior first baseman Kayla Bose drove a shot to centerfield that brought sophomore second baseman Daniel Dockx in for a final run to give Princeton a 7-6 victory.However, the Quakers took the second game on the strength of their pitching. Penn senior Lauren Li successfully stranded six Princeton scoring attempts and ultimately left the Tigers scoreless over the game, while Penn knocked in two runs in the second and an additional pair of scores in the fourth to secure a 4-0 win in the second game. Nevertheless, the day’s 1-1 result left Princeton still ahead of both Penn and Columbia in the Ivy South as they prepared to face the Quakers again on Sunday.In the second doubleheader, the Tigers’ third matchup against Penn proved as close as their first. After the Quakers opened up scoring with two runs in the top of the second, Jerpbak tallied two scores for the Tigers to tie the game. However, Penn responded with unanswered runs in the fourth and fifth innings to build a 4-2 lead. Princeton would not falter, however, with freshman outfielder Mikayla Blaska driving two runners in at the bottom of the sixth to tie the score. Penn failed to respond at the top of the seventh, and Princeton once again made good on their last scoring opportunity of the day when freshman first baseman Keeley Walsh drove Waslawski home with a single that gave the Tigers a 5-4 win.In Princeton’s final match of the weekend, the Tigers retaliated against Lauren Li’s shutout of them in Saturday’s game, dishing out four consecutive hits and jumping to a 3-0 lead by the end of the first. The Quakers switched to reliever Alexis Sargent, but she also proved ineffective against Princeton’s attack. Sophomore outfielder Kylee Pierce notched a two-run double to increase the Tigers’ lead to 5, and Princeton opened it up even further in the second. Freshman third baseman Kaylee Grant hit a single to drive a sixth run home, and Dockx smashed a three-run homer that gave the Tigers a 9-0 lead. Penn managed four runs of their own in the ensuing innings, but it all proved too little and too late. After a final score in the sixth from Grant, Princeton walked away with a 10-4 victory to close out the weekend.The 3-1 record against Penn puts the Tigers firmly in the lead in their Ivy South conference; they remain three games ahead of the second-place Quakers. Princeton will face Lehigh University next in a doubleheader slated for this 3:00 p.m. this Wednesday.

After completing a strong 11-2 season and notching a 5-2 Ivy League record, the women’s squash team now faces their greatest challenge yet as they head to New Haven this weekend for the Howe Cup Championships.The Howe Cup serves as the national championship for women’s squash. Last year, the Tigers battled all the way to the tournament semifinals, dropping a 5-4 heartbreaker against eventual champion Harvard. However, they bounced back the next day and clinched third place nationally by defeating Ivy League champion Penn 5-4. This year, the team again has high hopes.Harvard defeated Trinity last year to win the title, and Princeton accomplished the same feat last week when they downed the Bantams (11-4 overall) in a thrilling 5-4 win. Princeton’s outstanding victory was largely driven by senior Rachel Leizman, who won a come-from-behind match 3-2 in order to clinch the win for the Tigers.Princeton’s first opponent of the tournament will be Stanford this Friday. The Cardinal have gone 11-4 in the season and fell to the Tigers by a score of 7-2 at the teams’ last meeting in January. However, the regular season matchup was closer than the score would indicate: Princeton only had to win two five-game matches, including a 3-2 victory by sophomore Kira Keating and a similar thriller by senior Isabella Bersani, before consistent heavy-hitters such as Leizman, sophomore Olivia Fiechter and freshman star Samantha Chai put the game away. Since then, the Cardinal have not played another varsity match, while Princeton has won five straight — including three Ivy League blowouts over Yale, Brown and Cornell.Princeton will look to a diverse cast for success against this team and those that will follow this weekend. Their weapons include Leizman, a senior who clinched the Trinity game last week and has earned an All-America Honorable Mention, sophomore Olivia Fiechter and freshman Samantha Chai. Fiechter has earned Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors, while Chai has won her last six individual matches.The Tigers will look to repeat their success against Stanford on Friday before continuing down the stretch against harder foes. Harvard clearly seems to be the team to beat in the overall tournament: the Crimson (10-0, 7-0 Ivy) trounced Princeton in the teams’ regular season meeting, with only junior Gabriella Garr, Leizman and Keating winning a single game. Harvard is also ranked No. 1 nationally, with its closest games all season consisting of a 6-3 win over No. 2 Penn and a 7-2 victory over Trinity. The latter two teams will also be in the mix as possible opponents for Princeton over the weekend. The Tigers have already fallen to Penn by a score of 8-1. Princeton thus far has earned itself a place among the best; this weekend will determine just how high that place might be.Princeton will face Stanford this Friday, February 26, in New Haven.

The Princeton women’s squash team won its sixth consecutive game this past weekend, claiming a thriller over fourth-ranked Trinity (11-4 overall).The Tigers entered the game ranked third and coming off wins against Cornell and Columbia. However, this final matchup before the Howe Cup would prove crucial as a concluding test for Princeton’s regular season.The team, led by senior Rachel Leizman, proved equal to the task.The contest was an up-and-down affair from the outset: Trinity’s Kanzy El Defrawy defeated rising sophomore star Olivia Fiechter 3-0, although the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Year held the first set close and battled on to the end. However, the Tigers bounced back, with senior Tara Harrington recovering from an initial loss to win the No. 8 match 3-1 and junior Maria Elena Ubina drawing out a back-and-forth battle against Trinity’s Raneem Sharaf to pull off a 3-2 win at No. 2.However, the battle was far from over. Trinity took spots four, five and six, with Anna Kimberley taking a 3-1 match against sophomore Lindsey Scott, Salma El Defrawy pulling off a 3-0 win over Princeton junior Alexandra Toth and Jennifer Haley executing a 3-1 triumph over sophomore Kira Keating.With the game at stake, Princeton’s freshmen stepped up. Freshman Samantha Chai swept through Sachika Balvani 3-0. Her fellow rookie, Isabel Hirshberg, then won a thriller over Karolina Holinkova. Hirshberg found herself in trouble after dropping the first two sets but came back with an 11-9 thriller in the third contest, an 11-6 victory to make it 2-2 and finally a convincing 11-1 statement to finish off her opponent.This pair of wins tied the contest at 4-4, leaving the fate of the game to Leizman. However, the four-year starter remained unfazed; she had experience with such deciding moments, having once pulled off a five-game thriller against Harvard to win the 2013 Ivy League championship. The senior dropped her first set 9-11 against Trinity’s Julia Le Coq but remained cool under pressure and went on to even up the match with an 11-3 win. From there, Leizman slowly but surely took control of the match, edging out an 11-9 victory in the third set and icing her match — and the overall contest — with another 11-9 win that clinched a 3-1 match. The final verdict: Tigers 5, Trinity 4.After the game, Princeton coach Gail Ramsay praised the team and her seniors in particular for the strong win."I was thrilled to see the team play so well today," she asserted. "I thought we were closely matched. We were able to pull out five matches and I think on another day we could have found a couple more W’s. Rachel put in an impressive, pressured performance. She knew it was up to her to pull it out and she played a near-perfect tactical match. What a great way to close out her dual match career!"The win concludes the Tigers’ regular season, leaving them with an 11-2 overall mark and a 5-2 Ivy League record. Princeton will travel to New Haven this Friday to begin three days of competition for the Howe Cup, the national championship tournament for collegiate women’s squash.

Both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will seek to conclude their seasons against Columbia this Friday at Denunzio Pool.The Princeton men’s team enters this final competition with a 6-0 in-conference record, with its latest successes coming in a sweep of Harvard and Yale last weekend. The Tigers won 15 of 19 events, beating Harvard by a score of 224.5-126.5 and Yale by a score of 235-98.Battling against Columbia, Princeton will face an opponent solidly in the middle of the Ivy League standings. The Lions have lost meets to Penn (114-167), Yale (110-190), and Harvard (79-220), while edging out Cornell and Brown. However, the Tigers’ latest opponent is not to be overlooked: Columbia defeated Princeton in their last meeting, 168-132.The Lions’ current squad boasts such weapons as the foursome of Omar Arafa, Forrest Davis, Kevin Frifeldt and Codi Sanders, who earned victories over Bucknell and Brown in the 200-medley relay and starred individually in a wide selection of events. Also menacing is Brian Tsau, who has won 3 events this year in the 1000 free. Also dangerous is diver Jayden Pantel, who has controlled the boards in Columbia’s past two matchups and boasts 20 career wins in the 3-meter event.Against this opponent, Princeton offers a squad with perhaps the best selection of depth and versatility in the Ivy League. Against the tough squads of Harvard and Yale, the Tigers not only won an astonishing spread of 15 out of 19 events but also took multiple top spots in these events. Most notably, Princeton swimmers took the top three spots in the 100 breast and 200 butterfly, and swept the top five positions in the 200 IM.A win against Columbia would give the Princeton men’s team its first undefeated Ivy League season since 2012.Meanwhile, the women’s team also looks to end its regular season on a high note by vanquishing the Lions. The Tigers enter this final competition with their lone loss going to top-ranked Yale. This past weekend, however, Princeton split the Harvard-Yale meet, beating the Crimson 165-135 to solidify its hold on second place in the league standings.The Columbia women have struggled thus far this season, with their lone win coming against Cornell. Strong performers for the Lions include Mary Ashby, who has scored a string of victories in events such as the 200 medley relay, 100 backstroke and the 200 free, and Jessica Antiles, who has shown strong performances in the 200 free and the 200 IM over the course of the season.The Tigers will present a young but talented squad; standouts include sophomore Mary Kate Davis, who has demonstrated prowess in events such as the 200 back and the 1000 free, and freshman Janet Zhao, who has recorded a large number of encouraging top finishes in the breaststroke. A win for the women over Columbia would move Princeton to 6-1 in-league; the Lions last defeated Princeton in 2014.For both squads, this final meet takes special meaning as it marks the last regular-season contest for the teams’ seniors. However, competition for both groups is far from over; both the men and women currently stand in first and second in conference standings and are poised to go far in the upcoming Ivy League championships in late February.
