Baseball: Ivy foes prove too much

The baseball team had a number of holes to fill this season due to graduation and the professional draft. With many inexperienced players in key roles, the Tigers were seen as an enigma in a wide-open league. Their season played out much as expected: They showed flashes of talent but had difficulty putting all the pieces together.

Women's Water Polo: With third-place finish at Easterns, Princeton ends season on high note

“Someday love will find you. Break those chains that bind you. One night will remind you, how we touched and went our separate ways.”When you combine Bob the bus driver, Journey music videos, assistant coach Derek Ellingson on the seat drums, assistant coach Serela Kay on the air piano and head coach Luis Nicolao on lead vocals, there is no way the women’s water polo team cannot get fired up for its away matches. “Nothing gets us pumped more than some 1980s air piano,” senior driver and tri-captain Helen Meigs said.

Men's Volleyball: Team finishes best season in years

 When Jeff McCown and Carl Hamming joined the men’s volleyball team as freshmen in 2006, their rookie season ended at an even 6-6 in the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Tait Division. Their 2008 EIVA finish was identical and was followed by a disappointing 4-9 finish last year. This year, however, the co-captains and three-year starters were determined to end on a high note.

Column: MJ: Even better than we think?

One of the best things about writing about sports — or anything — is making an outrageous-sounding, grandiose argument that at first glance appears wrong in the extreme, and then arguing it to death. If you argue poorly, you look like an idiot. If you argue well, you still look like an idiot, but at least you have some strange satisfaction that you’ve stirred the pot. So, on that note, I make the following statement: Michael Jordan is very underrated.

Men's Lacrosse: Cornell strikes again
