In a season marked by early frustration, the men’s hockey team dropped its first two road games of the year over the weekend.
On Saturday, the men’s basketball team will look to do something it hasn’t done since the 2003-04 campaign: get off to a 3-0 start. To accomplish that, Princeton (2-0 overall) will have to take care of a veteran Army (1-1) team on Saturday afternoon on Carril Court.
On a rainy night at Roberts Stadium, the men’s soccer team ended its 2009 campaign with a 1-0 loss to Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
There’s no question that the field hockey team left it all out on the field today, but in the end, Maryland’s high-powered offense proved to be the difference. In a semifinal played at Wake Forest, fourth-seeded Princeton lost by a 7-5 margin to the top-seeded Terrapins, ending the Tigers’ run at an NCAA title.
It’s been five years since Princeton’s last trip to the NCAA Championships, and that season was highlighted by a spectacular 13-game winning streak. Since 2006, the No. 17 men’s water polo team (12-11 overall) fell one win short of an Eastern Championship title twice, finishing second to Navy both times.
The women’s basketball team (2-0 overall) enters the weekend on a roll, having handled both of its early-season opponents so far and tallying sizable victories. Yet the Tigers will face a potent and formidable foe when they compete against Delaware (1-0) this Saturday.
Just one month ago, the football team’s season was looking bleak. After losing two of their co-captains to injury and coming up short in four straight games, the Tigers (3-6 overall, 2-4 Ivy League) were mentally preparing themselves for a potential one-win season and the team’s first last-place finish in Ivy League play since 1973.
For the first time in eight years, the field hockey team is headed to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. The feat comes after an impressive season, highlighted by the capturing of the Ivy League title for the 14th time in 15 seasons.
The men’s hockey team has an opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the country this weekend.
With three national championships in the last three years and a couple of Ivy League titles, the women?s squash team could be forgiven for a lack of motivation for the 2009-10 season.
On paper, Princeton?s loss to Penn last night, by a score of 25-17, 25-23, 16-25, 25-21, may look similar to the first match it played against the Quakers this season to open league play.
Not many Princeton teams can say that they made it to the finals of the national championships for the past four years.
A month ago, the men?s soccer team was on a seven-game winless streak and wallowing at the bottom of the Ivy League.

Coming off a season that saw it post its first victories in more than two years, the wrestling team will look to continue its progress in the 2009-10 campaign.
"Am I a masochist or just plain dumb?” I was about to attempt what would undoubtedly be the most physically demanding activity I’d undertaken during my time at Princeton: try to complete one of the wrestling team’s workouts.
The men?s and women?s fencing teams may be two of Princeton?s best kept secrets. With head coach Zoltan Dudas in his fourth season at Princeton, the teams have the potential to exceed their notable finishes last year.
A common room with two TVs and Xboxes that are constantly running could be in any guys’ college suite. The difference is that the guys playing Call of Duty and Halo all weigh around 270 pounds and are more than six feet tall.
