Princeton earns share of 9th straight Ivy title

The No. 9 women’s field hockey team took on Cornell and Rider this weekend. Two victories — a shutout of Cornell (9-7 overall, 3-3 Ivy League) that earned it a share of the Ivy title and an overtime triumph over Rider Sunday afternoon — extended the team’s win streak to six, with its last loss coming at the hands of top-ranked Maryland. Saturday saw Princeton (12-4, 6-0) continue its in-league dominance, as it outmatched its opponents on the offensive and defensive ends.

Updated: Wild win in Cambridge

The football team needed a touchdown to win. As Princeton was losing to Harvard at the tail end of a wild game, junior quarterback Quinn Epperly looked for senior receiver Roman Wilson in the corner of the end zone, and as Wilson came down, he sealed an improbable victory. If that sounds more like the end of last year’s Princeton-Harvard game than a recap of this year’s, that is because the end of this year’s game was eerily similar.

Tigers come back to win big in Providence, improve to 2-0 in Ivy League

After an abysmal first quarter where nothing seemed to be going in its favor, the football team got some momentum going in the second quarter and went on to score 39 unanswered points to defeat Brown 39-17 Saturday. The night game was only the fifth time Brown (3-2 overall, 0-2 Ivy League) had put up its portable lights at Brown Stadium for a night contest. The Tigers (4-1, 2-0) came into the game fourth in the nation in scoring, but they went down 17-0 to start the game on a few botched special teams plays and a 71-yard touchdown run by Bears running back John Spooney. However, it all changed when junior quarterback Quinn Epperly hit a 24-yard pass down the middle of the field to junior receiver Connor Kelley to begin the first real drive of the night for the Tiger offense.
