Men's Hockey: Tigers seek to climb in league

The men’s hockey team will make its way back to New York this weekend for its final road trip of the regular season. Princeton (10-12-3 overall, 6-10-2 ECAC Hockey) will face No. 16 Union (16-8-6, 10-4-4) in Schenectady, N.Y., tonight and will play Rensselaer (16-13-3, 9-7-2) on Saturday. Both teams defeated the Tigers in early January, so Princeton will be aiming for redemption this weekend.

Men's Squash: Tigers gear up for another run at Potter Cup

What the 1990–1993 Buffalo Bills are to the Super Bowl, the men’s squash team is to the Potter Cup, the trophy awarded to the winner of the national team championship. Like the Bills teams of that era, Princeton has lost in the final match of the national tournament four years in a row. Each of those losses came at the hands of Trinity, a team that brings a streak of 221 wins and 11 national titles into this year’s tournament, which takes place this weekend at Yale.

We’ve all seen it: Cases of kids groomed to be serious athletes from the age of five. Luis Ramos is decidedly not one of those kids, but at the rate he’s progressing, he may as well be.

On Tap with ... Carl Hamming

Since arriving at princeton, senior outside hitter Carl Hamming has been a vital member of the men’s volleyball program. The tallest member of the team — at 6 feet, 7 inches — Hamming possesses enormous strength and power on the court. He has hit his stride recently, achieving double-digit kills in every contest since the team returned from Intersession.

Men's Basketball: Princeton looks to rebound in Philadelphia

An old rivalry will be renewed when the men’s basketball team travels to the Palestra to face Penn tonight.  While the rivalry has been dormant in the past few years as both teams have gone through a rare period of struggle, Princeton’s recent successes this year appear to have infused it once again. Despite the Quakers’ poor record, it may not be as easy to bounce back from Saturday’s tough loss to Ivy-League-leading Cornell as the Tigers would like.

Squash: Trinity too much for men

Eleven straight national titles, a 221-match win streak and the top national ranking: The Trinity Bantams are nothing short of dominant in men’s college squash. The men’s squash team has played second fiddle to the Bantams recently, losing the national title match to Trinity each of the last five years. Last year, Princeton was within points of beating them both during the season and in the national championship but came up short both times. The result was the same last weekend.

Princeton falls in heartbreaker to first-place Cornell

With seven seconds remaining in the game and with the men’s basketball team trailing by three points, sophomore guard Doug Davis shook his defender and brought the ball up the court, looking for a clean shot that could force overtime. He passed the ball off to senior center Pawel Buczak, who dropped it back off to Davis. The shot went up as time expired, but it was long.

Grapplers clinch winning Ivy season

The wrestling team guaranteed its first Ivy League winning season in the past 23 years with a 28-13 victory over Columbia on Saturday. Despite a tough 46-3 loss to No. 6 Cornell later in the day, Princeton (9-9-0 overall, 3-1-0 Ivy League) is still looking like one of the best the University has seen this decade.
