M. hoops saved again

If one were to pick a Tiger to come through with a dazzling three-point play in the paint to give his team the lead with under 34 seconds remaining, only to turn around and make a huge block on the other side of the floor to help secure the win, the obvious choice would not be Edwin Buffmire.However, a look at the stat sheet reveals that ? when exactly those events transpired last night ? chance was decidedly in Buffmire's favor.The junior reserve guard, who not only leads the team in shooting at 50 percent, but also in blocks, with 10, came through for Princeton (9-14 overall, 7-3 Ivy League) offensively and defensively when it mattered most, helping to secure a 63-60 comeback victory over Dartmouth (5-19, 3-8).With his team trailing 57-56, less than a minute on the clock, and the Tigers out of timeouts, Buffmire muscled his way up for a picture-perfect left-handed hook off the glass.

Goliath almost felled

Sometimes true wins aren't reflected in the numbers on the scoreboard at the end of a game. Sometimes wins are measured by the number of fans a team attracts to a game rather than the total number of points it scores.

Women's hockey hosts Wayne State

Though any game could result in an upset, the women's hockey team has a definite advantage on paper this weekend against visiting Wayne State (6-8-2 overall).The Tigers (8-3-2 overall, 5-1-1 Eastern College Athletic Conference Hockey League) sit in second place in the ECACHL and boast four of the top 10 point-scorers in the league, not to mention the third-best goalie in the country and the reigning national freshman player of the week.But that doesn't mean head coach Jeff Kampersal '92 isn't concerned with the specifics of this weekend's two-game series, the first time Princeton and Wayne State have met since 2002."We expect them to come to Baker Rink and compete," Kampersal said.
