In first start, Toresco kept clock winding

With the fourth quarter winding down and Lafayette threatening to steal the lead from the football team Saturday, Princeton was forced to rely on a running back who had entered the game as nothing but a zero ? statistically, that is.Prior to that afternoon in Easton, Pa., sophomore Rob Toresco had never carried the ball in a college game nor registered a single statistic during his Tiger career.

Terrell impresses with poise in first career start

EASTON, Pa. ? There's an old adage that though a team with a star player is a good team, a team without a star is a great team.If it's true, then perhaps the football team (1-0 overall) is already in danger of crossing that line to the latter.In his first varsity start, junior quarterback Jeff Terrell put on an impressive performance that would have reflected well on even a veteran, leading his team to a 23-21 victory over Lafayette.

Terrell drives Tigers to win

EASTON, Pa. ? By the time the Princeton offense took the field in the fourth quarter of its 23-21 win over Lafayette on Saturday, it was clear that the number of points the Tigers put on the board would be less important than the amount of time they took off of it.With the Leopards' own offense rejuvenated and scoring at will after being shut out in the first half, Princeton (1-0 overall) engineered a pair of prolonged fourth-quarter drives ? which ate up nearly 13 minutes of the final period? to keep Lafayette (2-1) at bay.Leading the marches downfield was junior quarterback Jeff Terrell, who shook off the pressures of starting his first collegiate game and the relentless blitzes of the Leopard linebackers.

Tough act to folllow for women's soccer

Just one season after completing the most impressive run in Princeton women's soccer history ? a 19-3 overall record, more wins than any other Ivy League women's soccer team ever and a trip to the NCAA semifinals ? the Tigers must pull off an even more improbable run if they are to equal or eclipse that mark this season.Princeton immediately faces the annual setback of graduation, losing its leading scorer and offensive leader, forward Esmeralda Negron.
