In the driver's seat, baseball hosts struggling Lions

The hottest team in Ivy League baseball has a chance this weekend to clinch the Lou Gehrig Division title and home-field advantage for the Ivy League Championship Series.And if Princeton falters in their back-to-back doubleheaders with Columbia at Clarke Field Saturday and Sunday, they still have four more conference games to get the job done.The Tigers (19-16 overall, 10-2 Ivy League) are on a roll after starting the season 7-15.

Princeton band 'scrambling' to support athletes for over 80 years

Junior Stan Morton, the student conductor of the Princeton University Band, is having a hard time thinking of an anecdote.He mentions the time that an airline lost the band's drums...then there was the time that the band got a Virginia men's lacrosse player ejected from the national title game...there was that trip to New Orleans..."You're asking this question of this group?" he asks incredulously.

W. lacrosse blows by Penn with ease

The women's lacrosse team crushed a lackluster Penn team, 13-8, last night at Villanova Stadium, proving its dominance between the two teams for the tenth time in a row.The victory extended the Tigers' record to 8-4 overall and 5-1 in the Ivy League while dropping the Quakers down to 5-9, 2-5, respectively.Princeton, the defending national champion, wasted no time showing its bedazzled opponent that it hasn't lost its fire.

Underclassmen pace w. track, dominate at Lafayette Invite

"Youth are the future."The above maxim proved itself undeniably true this weekend as the underclassmen of the women's track team dominated the standings by taking first in three separate events.The team divided its efforts over the weekend, sending three members off to sunny California in a bid to attain NCAA-qualifying times, before regrouping and challenging Rutgers, Iona, and Manhattan in Lafayette, Pa., at the Lafayette Invitational.While most of the team was still training and preparing for the weekend's events back at Princeton, three of the members of the team ? junior Emily Kroshus, freshman Meredith Lambert, and sophomore Chelo Canino ? were in Walnut, Calif., at the Mount SAC relays competing individually in an effort to secure NCAA-qualifying times in the 10k, 5k, and pole vault, respectively.Not only did both runners achieve their goal, they did it in style.

M. track downs local rivals for a key Heps tune-up

With the Heptagonal championships less than two weeks away, the men's track and field team sent a message to defending outdoor champion Penn and defending indoor champ Cornell that Princeton will be the class of the field.Competing against area schools Rutgers, Manhattan and Iona this weekend, the Tigers recorded some impressive marks, led by senior Josh Ordway's regional qualifying victory in the steeplechase.

Women's tennis drops tough match to Harvard

As a sports reader, it is often easy to get caught up in records and final scores. This is in part the fault of sportswriters, who forego analysis for the sake of numbers, and yet it is sad to think that something very important is lost among all the statistics ? the struggles for victory, outstanding plays, and heartbreaking failures.Last Friday, the women's tennis team (9-8 overall, 2-4 Ivy League) was a shining example of how scoreboards can be misleading, as it took on Ivy League powerhouse Harvard."The game was so much closer than the score showed," junior captain Alex Kobishyn said.The Crimson (17-3, 7-0), ranked No.

Third time's a charm as m. volleyball downs Juniata

The first step has been taken. The men's volleyball team looked Lady Destiny square in the eye last weekend, and she found the squad deserving.On Saturday night Princeton journeyed to Jun-iata College (16-9 overall, 7-8 Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association) for its first match of the single-elimination EIVA playoffs.The Tigers (17-8, 8-7) had twice fallen by a score of 3-1 to the Eagles in the regular season, but the team's continuing improvement over the course of the year left the probable outcome of this match in serious dispute.Princeton drove that point home to the Juniata faithful by battling through an electrifying five-game contest to emerge with a 3-2 victory and a ticket to the second round.In a match this close, "there really was no turning point," as junior setter Jason Liljestrom put it.

Vengeful w. lacrosse decimates Harvard despite ankle injuries

The women's lacrosse team's hammer was withdrawn when it lost to Yale, 7-6, a week ago. But on Saturday the Tigers (8-4 overall, 3-1 Ivy League) brought it crashing down on Harvard to give the Crimson (2-9 overall, 0-4 Ivy League) a 12-2 pounding.It was more than clear on Saturday that the Tigers were not about to be the first Princeton team since the 1988 season to lose two Ivy contests in a row.Most striking about the pounding was that the Tigers did it without the full help of their two top scorers ? junior attack Theresa Sherry and senior attack Whitney Miller ? who played limited minutes due to ankle injuries.

Three triumphs over Penn puts baseball in control

It feels good to be in the driver's seat.Locked in a first-place tie with Penn in the Lou Gehrig Division of the Ivy League, the baseball team (18-16 overall, 10-2 Ivy League) traveled to Philadelphia to play a four-game series on the Quakers' home turf.Despite dropping a heartbreaking 8-7 decision in the first game, the Tigers took the next three games by the scores of 6-2, 3-0, and 4-2, respectively, to come out on top in the series and take the lead in the Ivy League race."It was a big weekend for us," senior pitcher Mark Siano said.
