Women's Volleyball: Rudnick, Palmquist will lead Princeton against Harvard, Dartmouth at Dillon Gym

If the first two weekends of Ivy League play are any indication, the women’s volleyball team knows how to play from behind. Princeton (8-6 overall, 3-0 Ivy League) opened league play with a come-from-behind upset against defending Ivy League champion Penn and followed that five-set performance with a thrilling win over Brown that also went the distance. A 3-1 victory over Yale last weekend, which ended a two-year drought against the Bulldogs, propelled the Tigers to first place in league standings going into this third weekend of Ancient Eight play.

Column: Great names of old-time teams

One of my favorite things about college sports, as opposed to professional sports, is the occasional extremely silly nickname, like the University of California, Santa Cruz, Banana Slugs; the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs; or even the Centenary Gentlemen. But there was a time when pro sports teams had much better names than they do now. I present to you the 10 greatest nicknames in the history of American professional sports, as well as three that I’ve invented. Can you spot the ones that aren’t real?
