Women’s volleyballAfter kicking off its season with six matches on the road, the women’s volleyball team (3-4 overall, 0-0 Ivy League) dropped its home opener Tuesday night to Seton Hall (3-5, 0-0 Big East) in three straight sets, 25-15, 25-16, 25-20. Sophomore right side Kendall Peterkin had a team-high 12 kills and three service aces for the Tigers. Peterkin, who also added seven digs, returns to Dillon Gymnasium after an impressive freshman season, when she was just one of two freshmen in the Ivy League to be named to first-team honors. Rookie outside hitter Cara Mattaliano closely followed Peterkin, recording 11 kills and 10 digs. Junior middle blocker Tiana Woolridge contributed seven kills and a team-best .357 hitting percentage, while defensively sophomore libero Sarah Daschbach contributed 19 digs. Princeton was unable to get its offense going, as the Tigers only hit .050 for the match. The Tigers will next travel to Rhode Island for the Bryant Tournament, where they will play three non-conference games before opening Ivy League play on Sept. 27 against Penn in Dillon Gym.

2013 has been a year of firsts for senior golfer Kelly Shon. Last April, Shon finished at plus-2 to win her first Ivy League Championship and with it, the honor of Ivy Player of the Year. And, after finishing in second place in her third appearance at the NCAA East Regional in May, Shon became the first Princeton women’s golfer to earn a bid to the NCAA women’s golf championship in 16 years. In Georgia, playing as the only Ivy Leaguer in the tournament, Shon tied for 37th overall — putting her performance at first place all-time among women Ivy League golfers in the tournament. Shon noted that while at the tournament, she noticed how different her practice schedule was from her competitors’.
Last year, the Princeton men’s squash team ended Trinity’s 13-year CSA national championship winning streak to become the national champion. In this year’s tournament, the Tigers broke another winning streak, but it was much more bittersweet. Despite senior Todd Harrity’s thrilling victory over Harvard’s undefeated Ali Farag, Princeton fell to the Crimson 5-4 in the Potter Cup semifinal and lost the chance for a title repeat.
