Columbia won Saturday's football game, 33-27, on a miracle catch by Wade Fletcher. The last second Hail Mary gave the Lions their first victory against Princeton since 1997, and their first victory at Princeton since 1945.A clearly dejected Roger Hughes, head coach, downplayed the importance of the Hail Mary catch after Saturday's contest, saying "There were a number of plays during the course of the game that led to the outcome."The Hail Mary was simply the last huge momentum shift in a game that was marred with more ups and downs than a Red Sox playoff contest.In Saturday's game, the Tigers were unable to hold onto any momentum they were able to accumulate over the course of the game.Princeton opened with its best quarter of football in this young season.
