The No. 9 field hockey team was firing on all cylinders Saturday in Rhode Island as it cruised to its 17th-straight Ivy League victory.
Despite strong performances by many individual players, the women’s volleyball team suffered a major setback in its hunt for the Ivy League championship this weekend, dropping both of this weekend’s away matchups.
The football team continued its best season in recent memory Saturday, pulling through in the second half to overcome Lafayette by a score of 42-26. The Tigers (3-1 overall, 1-0 Ivy League) have now scored 40 or more points in three straight games for the first time since 1950.
After a tough loss to the best team in the nation on Friday, the No. 9 field hockey team ended its weekend on a high note Sunday afternoon. Delaware evened the score in the second period and threatened to hand the Tigers (7-4 overall, 3-0 Ivy League) their second consecutive loss, but senior back Amanda Bird found the net with fewer than 10 minutes remaining and put them up for good.
Off to one of its best starts in recent memory, the football team is back in Princeton Stadium this afternoon to take on Lafayette in its last non-Ivy contest of the year and its last home game before heading to Providence and Cambridge in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to this liveblog for all the action as the Tigers (2-1) look to continue their streak of offensive domination against the Leopards (1-3).
The Princeton soccer team hit the ground running, following up its season opener against Dartmouth on Saturday with Tuesday-night non-conference play against Drexel.
After Dartmouth went up 1-0 before the half, the men’s soccer team fought back and put up two goals in under 10 minutes. Sophomore forward Thomas Sanner’s fifth goal of the season and junior forward Cameron Porter’s subsequent header gave the Tigers (3-5 overall, 1-0 Ivy League) an advantage that would hold for the rest of the competition.
The football team's Ivy League opener will be in New Jersey, where the Tigers (1-1) will look to come away from their first three games with a winning record for the first time since 2008. The Lions (0-2) have suffered tough losses to Fordham and Monmouth so far, while Princeton lost a heartbreaker to Lehigh before exploding for 50 points in a win over Georgetown last weekend. Stay tuned to this liveblog for all the action.
Just over a year ago, on Sept. 29, 2012, I was pestering the football team’s head coach, Bob Surace ’90. We were in Columbia’s football complex at the northernmost tip of Manhattan, where Princeton had just put up 33 points, the most it had scored since the previous October, and won a road game, something it had not done since 2009.
The Ancient Eight kicked off their seasons last weekend, and, though they had a late start, some of the Ivy League teams have already made a big impact. Below, we try to make sense of the Ivy League’s season openers:
Sunday’s women’s soccer game was almost over when, in the 82nd minute, junior defender Gabby Ragazzo took a loose ball in the top corner of the box and drove it past William & Mary goalkeeper Caroline Casey to tie the game. After that, however, it was far from over — the Tigers (3-1-2) and the Tribe (3-1-4) were still tied when the game ended after double overtime.
The Office of the Vice President for Campus life has launched a new website designed "to keep the Princeton community informed” about the search for a replacement for Athletic Director Gary Walters ’67, who announced before the school year began that he would step down from his post at the end of the 2013-14 school year after 20 years.

As the football team prepared to take the field against Lehigh for last year’s season opener, the number of people who knew who would start under center for Princeton was so small that, well, everyone who knew was preparing to take the field. Head coach Bob Surace ’90 decided the Monday before the game that then-sophomore Connor Michelsen would start, but the general public did not find out until Michelsen came out for the first series.
After prevailing in the first two games of its season, the women's soccer team was foiled by Mother Nature Thursday night, as thunderstorms postponed their match at Seton Hall.
Gary Walters ’67, the Ford Family Director of Athletics since 1994, announced Wednesday that he will step down after the 2013-14 academic year. Walters, who started as point guard on some of the most successful teams in the history of the men’s basketball program, led Princeton athletics to 48 national championships and 214 Ivy League championships so far during his tenure.

At the 2013 Women’s Lacrosse World Cup, the members of Team Israel made headlines when they stepped on the field—and when they didn’t.
He made history this spring by becoming the first player ever to be named Ivy League Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year. He wowed fans andevidentlyscouts alike over the last two months in the Cape Cod League. And, though he was not drafted in June like fellow ace Zak Hermans ’13, senior Mike Ford will play in the pros.
Recent alumnus Ian Hummer ’13, second only to Bill Bradley ’65 on Princeton’s all-time scoring list, may still be playing basketball next year. Hummer had his first workout with an NBA team on Friday with the Phoenix Suns and will work out with the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings later this month.
